Read what parents are saying about Thomas Dale High SchoolWith 3 children, one already graduated from Thomas Dale, I can confidently say each individual student’s experience at Thomas Dale will directly reflect the choices that student makes - who they choose to be friends with, how much they choose to study, how engaged they choose to be. Thomas Dale has been a great place for my children to learn this important fact of life and everything they need to be successful is there if they choose to seek it out.
Posted by a parent on 10/7/2019Both of my children have attended Thomas Dale High School. I have found the teachers to be kind and caring and the administration to go above and beyond on more than one occasion. The community within the school is hard to miss and makes Thomas Dale home to the students and staff. Like anything, you get out of it what you put into it. Proud to be part of the Thomas Dale community!
Posted by a parent on 5/6/2018Something else that should be mentioned is that the "cameras" outside most likely don't work. I believe this because someone broke into my brother's car after school hours, where it was parked in the teacher parking lot, and they "couldn't pull up the tapes." So either they can't be bothered when there's an actual crime committed at the school, or the cameras don't work.Everyone says to "enjoy high school, that's the best time of your life!" Well, if these are the best years of my life, I don't have much to look forward to in the future. I'm sure there are some people who have had an enjoyable time at Dale... Ignorance is bliss. My four year sentence is almost up. There's a reason we call it "Thomas Jail."
Posted by a student on 3/17/2018It was ok I guess you could say. The staff in the front office are lazy and don't want to process requests. Teachers are nasty and rude towards students AND PARENTS and they don't have any sympathy when a student is out sick or has family issues. Teachers are ALWAYS late to class, but get onto children about being late to class. The grading is horrible. If you correct a teacher on their grading of an assignment, they'll deduct more points. Overall, it's a very unfair environment. There have been threats to a school shooting over social media a few times, and the county nor the school has said or informed parents about the issue, which is a safety issue for the kids. If I were a parent, I wouldn't feel safe sending my kid to school here. There are threats of violence, and there are also lots of drugs at Thomas Dale. It needs to be a happier learning environment.
Posted by a student on 3/12/2018Awful! Just awful. I have never been so embarrassed just sitting there waiting to be helped for a mistake absent for my Senior student. First of all, the lack of decorum's between the office worker is super awkward because, they gossip about you right in front of you. The Police guy from the back as well. It was just so embarrassing to witness at a professional surroundings. Let’s get it together Thomas Dale! If you’re going to gossip about a parent, please, wait for them to leave. It’s embarrassing to witness as a parent, let’s not forget that we are all adults and need some manners.

3/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageWorked here part-time for a year. Great Admin, Great Staff, and the kids were respectful and when there were problems with behavior they addressed it ASAP. Other schools need to follow their own ways. I have friends who have kids there and they love it.Teacher Review4mo ago - C E Curtis Elementary School

6/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageWe recently moved to this district and this was our son's first year at Ecoff. He is in the 4th grade. The office staff made our transition very easy and have always been very friendly and helpful. During Spring Break 2017, our son was involved in a horrific bicycle vs vehicle accident and had life threatening injuries. The entire staff has been very supportive and caring with our situation. They have been patient while our son healed and we worked out the details for the remainder of the year. His teacher, Mrs. Rowlett, has been amazing all year. She really strives to give each child what he or she needs despite her full plate of responsibilities. We so much appreciate the Ecoff staff.Parent Review6y ago
