Three great specialty centers and a very diverse background make Tucker the ideal school once the new buildings are complete! Close Quote

Everyone dissed me for going to Tucker when I was zoned for Freeman. But I LOVE Tucker everyone is so inclusive and caring, and everyone is different so it's okay to not have the best clothes or style because it won't matter. I no longer feel pressured by the rich kids to wear rich kid stuff. Close Quote

Truly a great school. Very strong international focus with many specialty centers including the International Baccalaureate and Language Immersion. Phenomenal theatre program and varied sports programs for students to participate in. Academically rigorous. No bullying and very few "cliques" - students have wide social circles with students from many different specialty centers and activities. Close Quote
