Thunderbird High School

Kindergarten through fifth grade was pretty good. Not going to count it against the school for Covid procedures, even though that was extremely miserable. However, sixth grade is an absolute nightmare! This is the year where they try to get the students prepared for middle school. What does that mean? That means that the kids are responsible for carrying around all their schoolwork and their backpack all day every day in folders in our responsible for keeping everything organized and turned in on time. I definitely support this! However, the lack of transparency to the students and to the parents for knowing what assignments are being given out, and when they are due is non existent. My son has been struggling all year to keep his grades above an F, which is never like him throughout all the years he’s been attending the school. To get me wrong, I have held my son accountable for his lack of accountability, talking to friends, simply not staying on task, but when I’m trying to work very closely with the teachers, it’s like pulling teeth to get answers from them. It is literally becoming a second full-time job trying to stay on top of everything school related on top of my regular 9 to 5. My son is confused, frustrated, to the point where he is in tears almost every night, and I can’t get a straight answer from any of the sixth grade teachers to figure out what we need to do.

The teachers are especially amazing. My son is excelling. The students are friendly and supportive.

I've had very good experiences here at this school. I've worked for this school for over a year and a half now, and I absolutely love it. The teachers are great and really care about the childrens' education and well-being. The social worker is very kind and helpful. The school provides the appropriate support and accommodations for students with disabilities. The principal is always going out of her way to help the students, staff, and parents. I would definitely recommend this school to others.

In general the School is good, and as a mother of a Student, what I can say in its favor, is that the Teachers are always attentive to the children., That gives me peace of mind, because it is very important for children development. Thanks to everyone who works at the School, to make this possible.
