I am a parent that has a child at Tartan and a child at North. Tartan has many good aspects to it but there are also issues that need to be worked on. Having a student at each school has given me a different type of insight. I can see the good and bad in both schools. It really depends on the student

I do not understand why certain people choose this perfession. Then there are others that are amazing!! I could name names but I won't. Teachers it would really help if you got to know your students. Some of them really have difficult home lives and need a break once in a while. They need to know that someone truly cares about them. Thanks for reading! Read less

If I had to do it over again, I would not have sent my daughter to Tartan. She is a special education student and she is not receiving the help she needs. I have never met such a resistant and unwilling school team, and I have been to many school meetings due to my career. Some students may do well

You will be amazed at how long some of the staff have been in the building and how many teachers there are Tartan High School graduates themselves! The renovations of the building look beautiful, take a look yourself at all the classrooms and the new media center. The students in the building are one of a kind. You need to look no further then 'Relay for Life' to know what I am talking about. The students bring that kind of hard work to all that they do. Go Titans! Read less

Tartan high school is the worst, most disgusting school in the state of Minnesota. I can't believe the people on here who are talking about the welcoming atmosphere and the B.S. about everyone being welcoming. this school is full of cliques just like any other school. and people will look down on you

Tartan is a great school. I love it there, even though I've only been here for a year. I would encourage all parents to send their students here, its a great school and I love the kids.

I don't agree what that teacher said about disipline, because I believe the teachers handle fights very well. :) And I'm guessing she/he was a substitute teacher and didn't give it a second chance. I also believe they shouldn't judge Tartan before actually being there longer than a couple days. Because it really is a great place. Read less

* In 2007-2008 Minnesota used the Minnesota Comprehensive Assessment-II (MCA-II) to test students in reading in grades 3 through 8 and 10, in math in grades 3 through 8 and 11, and in science in grades 5 and 8 and once in high school. The results for reading and math are displayed on GreatSchools profiles. The MCA-II is a standards-based test, which means it measures specific skills defined for each grade by the state of Minnesota. Students must pass the grade 10 reading and grade 11 math MCA-II exams in order to graduate from high school. The goal is for all students to score at or above the state standard.
