I attended Thornton High School for all 4 years of high school…read more This school has amazing teachers. While attending Thornton, the teachers always offered amazing support and we're always there for the students. It was obvious that every one was there because they loved their job. Honestly, this applies to all the staff at Thornton. All of the counselor at THS were/are amazing at helping the students with everything from college to stress to social problems. The office staff is fun and incredibly helpful. Even the librarians are incredibly amazing. I attended THS while Principal Skrobela was/is in office and she is so amazing with the students and staff alike. This school has so much spirt too. It's hard to no get involved with something on campus. The food is pretty good too!! Many of the clubs use the food at the school as a part of thief club, so this school does offer some pretty good food. The community at THS is alike no other. This school is so diverse that students are able to learn more than just the syllabus, but everyone is faced with life. Everyone walks out of THS knowing how to deal with the community and the life ahead of them. Tons of clubs are offered at THS and there is something for everyone to do. It is super easy to get involved at this school and the community as a whole is incredibly supportive of everyone. In addition to all of this, the honors program offered at THS is this International Baccalaureate (IB) program. This is an amazing program that can help bump students ahead in life and can help students receive college credits. If a student doesn't want to go with the IB path, THS is also conveniently located right next to the Bollman Technical Center where students can take classes that are offered to help with real world applications (such as medical field classes, graphic design, movie production, car classes, etc). THS also has a great program for special needs. Many clubs and students are in programs to work and integrate everyone in the community. These programs are super fun and they definitely help to make everyone feel welcome. THS is just an amazing school and my high school couldn't have gone any better.

This is a zero star rating…read more I have grandchildren that attend Josephine Hodgkins Elementary School. This school is building up a reputation of not taking action against serious bullying situations. Every day, there are fights in the school. Each of my grandchildren have reported different incidents of being kicked in the stomach, kicked in the legs, punched in the face. Recently, one grandchild received an injury that required stitches to the back of the head. The same kid then punched him in the forehead which left a knot. From what we understand, the child who does the bullying gets sent home for a couple of days, but nothing beyond that. The same kid comes back to school and starts bullying again. There are no efforts by school faculty to protect children from being attacked or even trying to keep them apart. The principal doesn't know what is going on or has done nothing to establish safety standards protocol. She should be terminated if she doesn't have an interest in the well being of our kids. If she continues to do nothing, the children will pay the price of her indifference. We are all aware of the school shootings in our country from kids who are mentally imbalanced. I'm sure the principal knows this all to well, yet she does not want to accept that these issues are occurring in her own school EVERY DAY and does NOTHING about it.

This school has a massive bullying problem. This problem has been continuously ignored for years…read more Lessons and lesson plans are below average. At one point we received homework from a free "teachers packets" website. The homework packets had so many typos even us parents had a hard time understanding it.
