School Reviews:

  • Recommended March 20,2011 - Taunton High offers something for everyone. I know of many students who are successful in college and in life because of the opportunites this school has given. The teachers care about every student.*-Posted by Parent *
  • Not Recommended March 30,2010 - Like many public schools there is too much emphasis on conformity and teachers act more like babysitters for teens rather than guides to a productive adult life. Even for those who receive good teaching from well intentioned staff, without knowing your options of how to apply knowledge after highschool Taunton is a deadend for even the brightest.*-Posted by Student/Alumni *
  • Recommended November 30,2009 - This school is amazing. It's band program is exception and the student involvement is top of the line. The slogan: "A Connected Student is a Better Student" is extremely true.*-Posted by Student/Alumni *
