I cannot recommend this school under any circumstances. What should be a safe and supportive learning environment is instead marked by unprofessional behavior, poor leadership, and a complete failure to protect students.There is a serious issue with how teachers treat children. Some staff members openly belittle, target, or single out students, and this behavior goes unchecked. Favoritism is obvious and consistent, certain students are treated with care and respect, while others are made examples of in ways that feel unfair and humiliating. No child should have to worry about being picked on by the very adults who are supposed to support them. Being called stupid infront of a class is humiliating.What makes this even more unacceptable is the school’s hypocrisy regarding bullying. Students are repeatedly required to sit through anti-bullying programs, yet when real bullying occurs, whether between students or involving staff, it is ignored or dismissed. This school does not care about children. At allThe overall level of professionalism among staff is deeply concerning. There is a noticeable lack of accountability, and it often feels like standards for hiring and oversight are extremely low. Substitute teachers, in particular, are frequently unprepared and inappropriate in their conduct. Even more troubling, there have been multiple instances where staff members were known among students for behaving inappropriately, and yet it took far too long for meaningful action to be taken. That alone should raise serious red flags for any parent.Leadership does not improve the situation. The principal (Principal Brown now I believe, but they switch principals basically every year) handles discipline by yelling at students rather than addressing issues in a constructive or respectful way.Low budget. Finally, the lack of resources, or the failure to properly manage them, is evident in basic areas like school meals. The food provided is often low quality, stale, and clearly not given the care it should be.Overall, this school has a troubling pattern of ignoring serious issues. Until there is meaningful accountability, improved leadership, and a genuine commitment to student well-being, I strongly advise parents to look elsewhere.

Excellent school teachers and nice education environment.

All four of my children attended Thomson and they had an amazing experience. The teachers here are great teachers. I volunteered here for as long as my kids attended this school and always felt welcomed. It's a great school for your children as long as you are doing your part too. Teachers and family working together make a school great.
