Although there is some room for improvement, I am very pleased with Tallavana. The sports programs are growing and the academics are wonderful.

One of the biggest problems I see at Tallavana is the Principal. She claims to not want to control everything but yet has to micromanage every detail. She gives very little support to the teachers. I have children that attend Tallavana and have seen a decline over the past 2 years. I held out hope

It's been a few month since I've chimed in. I am an auntee of a child at Tallavana, again I can say that I've seen a dead seed become a blossoming flower. My nephew had a choice to go to another school, he let me and his mother know that Tallavana is the place for him. He is totally confident in himself,

Mr. Towsend has encouraged my nephew to be what he chooses to be and not be what someone choose for him. I praise God for the concept that Tallavana has. Again if you have kids that learn easily great, but mine nephew didn't. He received a few certificates for improvement for the 2007 year. Horay for Tallavana!!!!!! Read less

I am going into 10th grade at Tallavana this year and I love it!I have seen such a change in Tallavana this year more than ever before. We have a new principal, Mrs. Townsend, and I think that she has done an outstanding job at changing the school for the better.Me and my friend would go to her office

Read more at least once a month and we would tell her what our concerns were and she would help us get what needs to be done done.Take it from someone who has been at Tallavana for at least 9 years , we haven't seen a year like this since Principal Castleberry was here. And anyone who thinks that this school is not absolutely wonderful has lied to you. We now have uniforms. We also recently got new computers and have restarted the Discipleship club. Since Mr. Ross(pastor) came back things are great. Read less

I graduated from Tallavana when it was formerly Gadsden Christian Academy. Through the years there have been many hardships and problems, but each time the school has problems - the Lord keeps it going. This school is God's school and without HIM it would have been gone years ago. This school has
... Read more been a part of the Gadsden County community for over 30 years. Yes, there are some problems but there are positive things too. Most of the teachers truly love all of the kids and know them even away from the school. If you have a problem - instead of berating the school or those who are trying to make it a better place for all the kids - join the various parents groups and boosters. It's a family school and with the love and support of all the families involved it can be even better! Read less

I went to Tallavana for 13yrs. The school has had many ups and downs. I was there when it almost closed to when the school changed it name. I think the biggest issue that I seen when i attend Tallavana is that the church tried to control the school to much. That has always been the issue out there. I

Also I am glad that Mr. Ross is back. He is a wonderful person and teacher. Also the school needs more choices of classes for the high school. Read less

I would have to agree with the comment about the booster club being a little pushy. To me it seems like they are trying to spread their influence to more areas than sports. Other than that I think that the school is heading in the right direction.

I love TCS, for the teachers there are awesome. My grandson has been their two years and is learning really good. They don't have any thing for sports for the grade he is in yet but they plan to get it next year so I joined the Boosters to help get him involved in sports. But I think the boosters are

If the office & PCF or whatever they are called would quit worrying about clothes and worry more about the kids and not the clothes. For when they get older the clothes really won't have anything to do with them getting a good education and becoming want ever they want to be. If everyone comes together to help the kids feel better about thereselves it would help. Read less
