Thornton High School Reviews


Posted By: parent Quality Score: 3 2007-08-19 “I have children in two of District 12's schools, and my son and I were much happier with the experience at Thornton than at Legacy. Thornton's staff and coaches have established individual student success as their priority. My son felt that he was valued in his academics and sports by each of his teachers and coaches. This school is lively and diverse. What it needs is much more parent participation and support. The athletes need to make a higher commitment to their sports and remain eligible. It is tough to be a teacher or administrator at this school due to the variety of needs the students present, but this staff handles itself with dignity and kindness.” Posted By: student Quality Score: 4 2007-03-09 “This school has an amazing community. The students all seem to connect and have something in common. There is such diversity in the school that everyone can find a friend or more. The choir program is excellent, as are most of the performing arts. The athletics are also fun and welcoming. I really enjoyed going there and it gave me great people skills. The teachers focus more on the student than on the idea of a standardized test and it really teaches the kids to have realistic ideals of the real world and the hundreds of types of people you will encounter. Real world experiences are most definitely acquired here.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 3 2005-04-01 “I am a grandparent and if I come into the school I am told I am not to wander the halls. I wanted to go with my grandson to purchase a yearbook but I was made to wait in the office while my grandson purchased the book. I felt left out of the process and that I had missed an opportunity to meet the teacher. I have offered my services as a volunteer and have not heard back from anyone. I was given the opportunity to watch the classroom when they were doing their mock trial practices and really enjoyed this chance to be in the educational loop. All parents,Grandparents and community members should be welcomed in the school.”
