Although Tara High school is nestled in a nice Suburbian neighborhood it is one of the worst schools I could have possibly sent my son to. Staff is either too lazy or overworked but I’d say the latter. Seems like staff does not like to do their work and gets annoyed when asked to do so. My son currently attends Tara high and I’ve have a few problems with the staff not doing their job. My son has also stated to me plenty of times that he isn’t challenged academically not to mention the school is so run down not sure how it’s still standing. Unfortunately, I was forced to send my child to this school because this is the only high school within the area I live. With that being said this past week a few issues have been brought to light that has ultimately made me make the decision to pull my son out & be homeschooled. This past week was the week of the national student walk out for gun control and out of all the schools across America that participated in the walk out Tara high didn’t allow students to exercise the right. The principal decides to pull the fire alarm at the same exact time the walk out was to occur. In her words she “didn’t want to deal with all the commotion” Word of advice if you can avoid it Do Not Send Your Child To This School by all means.

This school is the worst school. So much bullying from students and teachers. One teacher told my granddaughter that she thinks she’s privileged bc she’s white!! One student told my granddaughter that she bullies her because she’s white!! Why would a teacher tell a student this. Why would the child bully make a statement like that? My granddaughter has more black friends then white friends. I am extremely excited that they’re closing the doors. Wherever those students attend school next year, I feel for the school and I feel for the teachers because they are going to have a battle.

The best Middle School in the parish.
