Taft Charter High School Reviews
Rating 3.57 out of 5 567 reviews
Great school. Diverse, safe, sports, environment. The magnet program is good. There’s tutoring and there’s a lot of clubs to join.
Overall, my experience at Taft has been a growing one. I had a good experience with teachers and coursework and academics has never been an issue at this school in my opinion. The only element in which I believe could be improved would be the spirit and connection between students and the diversity of student groups on campus. I think that it’s much harder to connect students when they are so divided amongst groups of their own. However, overall, Taft has provided great opportunities for me to grow and understand who I was in and out of the classroom.
My experience at Taft Charter High School was decent. There were good and bad parts. I had an amazing experience with my teachers due to them helping whenever I'm in need. The bad things that I remember were that some staff were rude and said some crude things to students. One change I would like to see is more school spirit.
