This school is a mockery of education. There is no teaching here. There is no punishment for misconduct. You diploma is a joke. It is embarrising to say i am graduating from Theodore High School.
The first thing I can start talking about is the "staff." They aren't "staff..." they sit on the computer and don't care about the students...all they care about is being payed...about any school in Alabama has NO education...I'll NEVER live in Alabama due to terrible education. 2nd...NO homework...NO studying..how are you going to get INTO College? You simply CAN'T! I ask this girl daily..how much homework did you get..her responce "I dont get no homework." Hmm.....that's not good at all..such a school to get you "educated." 3. Kids can text on the phone, MAKE PHONE CALLS, etc WITHOUT the teacher caring.....hmm..this school REALLY has LOTS of issues...if you don't believe me go into the school for a day and the "teachers" will sit and do nothing.
I sent my son to this school and for a child who did pretty well in missdle school he completely bottomed out at Theodore. I went to his school one day unannounced and baby sitting is just about the correct term for this school. Kids chewed gum in class, had their own conversations while the teachers where teaching, some even got up and left the class with out asking! The children cussed in ffront of teachers and when asked about it they said they could send them to the officce but tha the office would just send them back without punishment. I couldn't get my child out fast enough to try out Baker. I wont let Theodore ruin another child of mine.
I graduated from Theodore High School five years ago. All I can say, is I hope that they improved a great deal! I consider my self an average student. I struggled with most of my classes because the teachers there did not 'teach'. They baby sat. As you can tell, most of the current students who commented on this school can't even spell. I am not trying to offend any one or be rude. I am trying to be brutally honest. Unless there have been some major changes, I would not recommend this school!
i love thisw school this school is so awsome.i mostly love the teachers there sweet is what i heard from a bunch of people cant wait to go next year its gunnah be a fun and good year 4 everybody including me.Go Bobcats!!!
I liked Theodore High School. The principal and most of the Teachers seemed very dedicated to their profession. I especially appreciated the phone announcements.
i loved this place, would not of gone anywhere else. great people and not a bad clique problum at all. alot of people treat everyone with respect
THS had good facilities, but there was no real attention to excellence. The guidance counselors were solely interested in graduating students-- not helping them with post-high school choices. I had the feeling that a lot of the kids who didn't do poorly could have achieved a lot more with a little push here and there. There were some great teachers though.
Ths is a wonderful school i go there and techers are helpful! and they listen and help the student not just ingnore it! they offer great clubs also Go Bobcats!
THS might not be a top rated outstanding academic school, but it is still a great school. I went there 4 years and I was well prepared for college when I left there and I feel confident that others were as well.
