Terra Nova High School Reviews
Rating 3.33 out of 5 279 reviews
This is not an A rated school. Look at Great schools, Yelp and Google before believing this. Terra Nova is a violent place for kids, and a staff that looks the other way. The teachers openly display extremely biased and political viewpoints, and kids not on board with those views are targeted. Brutal fights are a regular occurrence while kids cheer, film, and post to social media. I could go on and on. If you care about your kids, steer clear of Terra Nova and the whole district if you can.
The best parts of Terra Nova high school were the friends I made, people at the school, and the sports communities I was apart of. The worst parts were probably some of the teachers and how strict some of the rules were/how hard staff were on kids struggling.
I went to Terra Nova High School through 2016-2020. My time as a student at Terra Nova was met with vast opportunities and relationships with peers/teachers. I participated in sports all four years and was able to make some of my closest bonds with teammates. The teachers, coaches, and overall staff at Terra Nova were very nice and welcoming.
