7/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageMy daughter has had a comprehensive high school experience at TCCHS. The staff is full of highly qualified, dedicated and caring teachers. The extra curricular offerings are just as good as the academics.

5/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageWe could not be happier with our time at Traverse Heights, how lucky are we that the neighborhood school is so incredible! The support is unending, the entire staff truly does everything they can to make sure that every students feels loved and safe. There is SUCH school pride, and an amazing "House" system, similar to the Harry Potter books ( but no Slytherins!). Everyone at the school, from pre K to the lunch ladies are apart of a house and it has helped create relationships that go beyond the classroom. I know that my son is being prepared for the the future and not just academically, although the accommodations for both advanced learners and those that take their time is there. They truly look at the whole person and use tools and tricks to ready our tiny humans to be empathetic, caring, curious individuals. Go Roadrunners!Parent Review3y ago
