This school would never let me choose or have a say in my schedule and always is disrespectful to me, not teaching good what so ever.

I have worked extensively with the High school Librarian to manage and improve the library collection. As a consultant with an outside entity, I have been thoroughly impressed with the knowledge, experience, and passion of the librarian. She consistently goes above and beyond to make sure her students have the best books: print and digital for the students to learn and engage with exceptional content. Her compassion and dedication to her students education is a testament to the strong character and support of Taylor HS.

This school and district have displayed a focus on safety and learning. The system they use is Professional Learning Communities. My son as truly is successful at Indiana University as a senior due to his experience at Taylor High School.

I graduated from Taylor and went there K-12 along with both of my brothers. I am now approaching my last year of nursing school and preparing my self to apply for Medical School. My older brother is in his last year of Pharmacy School at Purdue. My little brother is PreMed to be a psychiatrist. All 3 of us graduated from Taylor and went there K-12. I believe this is all because we learned how to properly apply ourselves when we went to Taylor. I will always love this school.

Taylor schools have gone down-hill. It has started a new way of "learning" called New Tech. That means that everything is more technology and project based. First of all, the technology is not reliable. In fact, just today, my computer would connect to the Internet, so I tried to shut it down, but it wouldn't even do that. New Tech is also project based, and that is the real problem. Nothing is learning by doing a project. Students spend about 3 weeks (it varies) on a single project, usually more. Hardly any material is covered. Group projects are also a terrible idea. Good students end up with people who don't care, so the good student ends up carrying the other people. If he or she doesn't he/she gets a bad grade even if he/she did the part the group agreed on at the start. It's too much work for one person.I have shed a lot of tears and lost sleep because of the stress. DON'T send your kids to Taylor. There is one good thing, the teachers. They are put in a bad situation without a solution, but they try their hardest. They are all very nice and personable and truly care about the students. Don't put the blame on teachers. They all deserved to be thanked for their efforts.
