Mount Tahoma Reviews


Posted By: student Quality Score: 5 2007-11-30 “Mount Tahoma is the best school i've ever attended. Mount Tahoma has gorgeous campus. i attended at there for my sophomore year and unfortunately i had to move the school. a bit of homework but not too bad and there's no pressure. it's like almost small society. I'm really glad that i've attended school. nicest teachers around me and joyful memory. 'T-bird Power is justified!'” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 3 2007-05-29 “This is a beautiful school although very little homework and direction is given. My daughter is a freshman taking honors math and never has homework! The teachers seem to have little control over the classes and students do what they want. It is more of a social gathering rather than an academic learning environment. Very frustrating as a parent as these kids will have a real wake up call when entering collage with no solid study habits.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 2 2007-01-11 “School lacks class selection or stimulation for kids. Result kids are bored, no homework, and not learning. Lack of class structure & curriculum. Very poor education in the technical areas.” Posted By: former student Quality Score: 4 2006-03-30 “Quality of academic programs, Availability of music, art, sports and other extracurricular activities, Level of parent involvement” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 2 2006-01-16 “The school is brand new, opening in 2004, and so physically it is clean and beautiful. However, they seemed to have spend all their money on the school and left none for school supplies. There are virtually no books, paper, any type of supplies and therefore my daughter receives no homework and is often times bored with her classes. I asked that she be placed in honors classes and still it is not challenging enough to keep her interest. Test scores for this school are low and they do not push the students as much as they could. Staff is pleasant, but is greatly lacking in strong organization and serious learning techniques.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 2 2005-08-20 “Modern new school. Offers alot of programs, but are not followed through. Needs tough guide lines for students and staff. Low parent involvement, and low teacher communications to family.” Posted By: teacher Quality Score: 4 2005-06-03 “Mount Tahoma is a great school who has commetted themselve to trying a new, small school way of teachings.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2005-04-01 “Both of our kids graduated from MT.T. One in 03 and one in 04. The teachers/staff and especially Principal Shearer were so helpful in our kids academics and personal lives that is probably one of the reasons they are both attending college now! They did not get to attend the 'new' MT.T but they will always be THUNDERBIRDS at heart!” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2004-12-24 “There is no other school like Mount Tahoma. The staff are close knit, fun and really work hard for the students. It's like a small community. There's a club/extracurricular for almost everyone- and if there isn't, then you can start one! I had the chance to go to Foss, but am so glad that I stayed at Mount Tahoma.” Posted By: former student Quality Score: 5 2004-07-08 “I went to Mt. Tahoma after transferring from Clover Park. My grades were immediately better, I made honor roll every semester, and got a scholarship to college.” Posted By: former student Quality Score: 4 2003-08-19 “This school has had a great impact on my life. Thanks to all the staff that cared so much about thier students!!”
