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.

Not good for a disabled child. My 6-7 year old son got pushed down so hard by an older kid that his front tooth was knocked out and they didn't even write an incident report, just sent the bloody tooth home wrapped in a kleenex in his front backpack pocket. He was also regularly singled out because of his disability, he was not permitted to attend before or aftercare at the school, and the teached called every single day for like 3 months asking us to pick him up early because he was sick when he wasn't sick. I worried for my son's safety while he was here.

The best Middle School in the parish.
