Both my daughters attended Tabb High School graduating in 2012 & 2016. One of them simultaneously attended The Governors School for Science & Technology. I can not say enough about Tabb high schools academics, opportunities and advanced placement classes. My daughters did well on all their AP testing (scoring 4 & 5) and were highly prepared academically for college. Close Quote
