My son was a student here, and now my daughter is. My daughter had issues in elementary school with a teacher who isolated her and her friend group by stating religious-based comments in the classroom, encouraging students in the classroom to bully my daughter and her friends. I went to administration and they did nothing. Here at Thomson, my daughter feels welcome and encouraged. Ms. Dawson is her favorite teacher and she enjoys band, chorus, and drama. Hopefully Thomson keeps their great teachers around for as long as possible!

Many of the teachers, I would consider a "hit or miss". Some were really great, but some were genuinely awful, and didn't teach. The school doesn't really provide a welcoming environment from students of all backgrounds, and school administration would punish good students for the several bad students that they had. Many of the students were very ignorant, and I'm not sure if this stims from a lack of school resources or environments they grew up in. When I was attending this school, I genuinely hated every moment of it, and was head over heels when I left. If I'm being completely honest, I was embarrassed to say I went to this highschool because it didn't prepare me for University. I'm fortunate that I took my own initiative, to be where I am today (almost graduated with my bachelor's in a STEM subject). Overall, this school focuses way too much of it's funding, resources, and free-time into sports and meaningless activities, and not into programs that are actually going to set students up to succeed in life (academics, discipline based clubs, mental health resources, ect.) The amount of wreckless decisions that are made by administration and the board of education is pitiful, and I feel sorry for any student who was forced to attend this school. If you want your student to have a quality education, you're better off sending them to a private school.

Teachers here are very approachable and nice to their students.
