I loved my time at tea, the class size is small enough where almost everyone in my grade was friends with everyone else, all of the extracurricular activities are top notch, especially band and basketball, and the teachers are all easy to talk to, even for the more shy kids

This is the worst school in South Dakota. The principle is worthless and so is his little maid. If I were you I would never send any of your kids to Tea Area High school. They treat you like your 10 years younger than you really are. Also if someone asked me what I learned from this school would be how to mess around rather than any preparing for the real world.
