I had attended Tri-City myself so when it came time for my children to attend, I assumed it was still the best. I found that assumption not to be true. My child's Kindergarten class had 24 students (vs. his local public school had 19!), the campus was not well-maintained and I'm sorry to say that the

My children when to Tri City for 2 years and I pulled them and put them in public school. They are much happier. About 1/4 of the parents have left due to issues. There are many challenging kids, especially boys, and unfortunately many 'good' families left. What was most surprising on going to a
... Read more public school was that they were academically ahead in the curriculum and now my kids are more challenged. Also there used to be more classes per grade, but due to lack of enrollment they are now down to 2 classes instead of 3 in the lower grades. K-6 is a different school than 7-12. My review only applies to K-6. From my understanding 7-12 is wonderful. Read less

My children have attended Tri City for the past five years.
