Thurston High School

Posted October 10, 2008

I am a 2008 graduate from Thurston High school and I found the school very satisfactory. Sure there are ceilings collapsing, water in the hallways, and way too many students in one classroom, but regardless, I was very prepared for college and life. The teachers DO care. No one teacher can give enough instruction in one class period to make you feel prepared for an upcoming test or an assignment. However, they are always in their classroom ready to help any student that walks through their door for extra help. It is ultimately up to the students to seek the resources they need in order to be successful, because guess what? The faculty at THS is preparing you for college. The professors in college don't care if you are successful or not, get used to it. After HS, no one is going to be holding your hands through life.

I am a sophmore at THS and find that while it is in need of major improvements,we probably should've thought about that before we hired the archtiect that built this school(from California) to make our roofs flat...It rains a lot out here and everywhere you walk, you're dodging raindrops in the hallways!I've known people who have been charged up to ten dollars for water damage on their books because a drop of water fell from the roof onto it while they were walking down the hallway! It's ridiculous,but like i said,we probably should of thought about that earlier... Another thing about this school is that besides a small handful of teachers, most of the staff here is unsatisfactory.A couple of teachers here have had sooo many complaints called in by students and parents and yet, the faculty at THS pretends to not notice.

As a parent, I am disappointed in the guidance given to the students by the principals and counselors. The teachers don't care about maintaining order and structure in the classroom. I worry my child will not be ready for college. After school activities are limited and funding support is non-existent for anything except football.

I am a senior at Ths moved here from scottsdale arizona. Thurston does not care where you are after you graduate, nor do they teach you anything that will prepare you for college. I hate it and Ill be happy to leave.
