My personal opinion about Tolleson is that it's a very good school. I'm a university high student and although it may be difficult at times i still recommend it to others, so that they can push themselves and take risks. Its like a challenge you take for yourself but it is always rewarding at the end.

I was very impressed with Tolleson Union High School. The Principal has made great strides to change the direction of the school to make sure that the students priorities are education first. My son participated in the baseball program and I can't say enough about the program. It was wonderful. The coaches

My son's Algebra teacher Ms. Drasnin turned my son around in algebra. He went from struggling to making an A and excelling and even being selected to be in a excelled type program for his sophmore year! Read less

I love this school. But it needs work in the staff area. I've had many great teachers like Ms. Bray, Ms.Polcovich, and Mr.Ortiz who have inspired me to work very hard. But the main problem this school year is that the school staff seems to have been more worried on 'dress code' understand why the new
... Read more dress code rule of not having words on our shirts. It's not professional. But making a big fuss about how a 'teenager' (the rebel years) dresses is not not professional either. Having security guards waste their time chasing students that have the logo 'HOLLISTER' on their shirts is ridiculous, they should be monitoring the school and making sure students are safe. That's why they are called Security Guards, to make sure the school is being 'Secured'. Read less

i personally do not like the school. The staff there is very 'because i said so' attitude. They have different views about educating the teens. Power does not always solve all the problems. They need training in that area.

I attend Tolleson in the University High program and this is my first year. I'm pretty young but i took the University High class for a reason. And that reason was to get higher education (advance placement classes). I am smart for a ninth grader and i KNOW that i could do more. Dr.Dean, the principle
