Thurston Elementary School

My daughter just graduated K-garten, what a wonderful school! The quality of content the teacher covered was wonderful! There is plenty of opportunity to become involved with the school as a parent, as well as for your child to become involved. One item this school takes pride in are the reading programs available to each and every student. My daughter and I enjoyed reading together throughout this last year and watching her 'car' travel further and further down the 'reading road.' I would reccomend this school to any and all! Hope to see you there!

Our son went K-5 at this school. Although I often chose the teacher I thought would be the best match, they were all great. Our son seemed to work better for the men teachers. The general evviornment built self-esteem, character,an solid acidemic basics. Children were encouraged to go beyond their grade level, entering middle school with recommendations to even skip a level of study. Respect for fellow classmates is encouraged and expected. PTA is active and parent volunteers are always appreciated, in school and out. Grants, pilot programs, and inovative teaching philosophies are up to date even if the school itself is older.
