What Students Have to Say About TCMS

 

"The mood surrounding the school doesn’t give out a “Save us! We’re being tortured!” vibe.  Instead, laughter and happiness coming from both students and teachers echoes around the bustling hallways." - Tiffany Chen

 

"(Teachers) use so many great teaching methods like using a humorous personality, sometimes even using a kind personality, but what really sparks me is their ability to get serious when it’s time.  Also, they are oh-so forgiving, like when you do something shameful, they don’t make you feel bad" - Aleem Waris

 

What Parents Have to Say About TCMS

 

"I can't begin to explain how TCMS has been a real blessing for our family.   My son has really blossomed there thanks to your supportive teacher network and I love that there is a place for every kind of kid at TCMS.  It truly warms my heart!  You have my 100% support always and forever, even after he is gone off to high school." - Parent of a 2010 TCMS Graduate

 

"I truly must say that TCMS provided both of my children with an outstanding education.  It was always my opinion that they received a high-quality, private school education at a public school.

I consider TCMS one of the greatest educational assets (and secrets) of Tampa". - Bill Hoffman=

"The quality of teaching and the attention to our children at TCMS far surpasses many private school standards.  I would highly recommend TCMS to any student who wants to work hard and come up on top!"

"TCMS is a breath of fresh air.  Everyone seems dedicated and works so hard.  The level of academics is unmatched in the county.  Communication on a personal, one-to-one level is always available."

"Terrace Community Middle School has been a positive experience for my child. The school provides a wide variety of academics and experiences that prepare students for a variety of real-world situations.  It continues to be quite a beneficial experience."

"TCMS has a great (rigorous) program and prepares students well for IB or any good high school.  Teachers are well prepared for what is required of their students in the Hillsborough County School District.  TCMS has a well disciplined atmosphere than any regular public school."

"Having taught in both public and private schools and having had all four of my children in both public and private school, I can say, unequivocally, that here at TCMS we get a private school education and environment for free.  This is a savings of anywhere from $6,000 to $13,000 per child per year!"
