"Love this school. I have 3 children inTwin Peaks and they all love the kids and the teachers. The school has volleyball, basketball, soccer, theater, choir, band, cross country, track, publishing, computer lab etc... They are working on a football field and a baseball field. The school has won SEVERAL awards over the past few years. I think it is a great place for kids who want to do well in school. Any child interested in a great education will do wonderfully at this school."

"Twin Peaks High School is phenomenal. The teachers are fantastic and make sure everyone understands the material being talked about. The school has a great environment. There is homework but it isn t usually an overwhelming amount. The coaches for the sports teams make sure that everyone is able to do their best and improve."

"My son attended TPCA up until this year where he transferred to a local high school. Academically this school is great for the basics (math, english, science, social studies)... hardcore but great! It allowed for my son to definitely excel in high school where he is easily pulling a 4.0+ gpa. Socially we had problems with the middle school because they treat the kids like kindergartners, and unfortunately don't offer enough electives. There are a lot of growing pains that have resulted from their new high school addition, but I believe in 5 to 10 years this school will be "level" and ready to be great again. Until then just note that it has it's issues with the board, "counselor", teachers, and class offerings that might deter you from choosing TPCA. I hope it improves, but I personally don't miss the issues my son encountered while attending TPCA."

"I have been involved with TPCA for 6 years, and I'm choosing to move my children to the local public school. It's concerning that 3 board members did not choose Twin Peaks for their children this year, they moved them to public school. The administration is ineffective and there are valid reasons why our board members move their kids. Children cannot play on the grass for recess, but have to play on concrete. Usage of the large grass area is only for certain PE classes and the principal wants the school to "look appealing", so the children aren't allowed to trample the grass at lunch recess or any other recess. The principal is about "appearances" and not dedicated to academic or physical needs of the student body. Keep in mind that the principal doesn't even bring his kids to TPCA. This school is not what it once was, and many families are leaving. I've found that the public school can better serve the academic needs of my children. A school that thinks tech, science and math are relevant is a better fit for my young learners. TPCA's heavy focus on humanities leaves gaping holes in the long term success of the students."

"I love the principal. I love the teachers. This is a great school. My daughter has been there 3 years. She is challenged. I wish I had put her in here instead of the private school I had her in. I wish I had the money."
