Thornton Middle School

I was a studet in this School and people here would mature once they are in high school. These kids just came out of elementary so why do people expect them to mature so fast. This school was fun for me when i was there but honestly i believe the principal there messed it up bad. So dont blame the kids or the teachers blame yourself expecting your kids to be so mature at a early age.

Great school rarely any bully's, great teachers, has a great learning system, and its just a great school to be in.

I am an 8th grader at Thornton, and this was my first and last year. For 6th and 7th grade, I went to Hodges Bend Middle School. I have to say, HBMS does not come close to Thornton. IN education and behavior. The teachers and students are nice to you, and the teachers take time to help you to make sure you pass. At HBMS, there was a lot of stuff I didnt understand, but Thornton teachers explained it to me very well. I am very sure that this school is awesome!

this year thornton changed. barely any fights and the kids have really improved their behavior.

Thornton is a horrible school. The students don't have any respect whatsoever for each other. Also the way things are ran there need to be corrected.

I am a student at Thornton MS I also think my school has had its ups and downs but we still all got through them.Personally I love this school the teachers treat you very well and you also have fun in some of the classes. But no matter what people say about our school to us ,students, we will always love this school.

I am a student at Thornton Middle School and most of the reviews here say that we are a school that has many fights and the students are always getting in trouble, but that is not true. From the year of 2006-07 to the year of 2008-09 fights have reduced by 65% according to the school paper and the 2008-09 year 94% of 8th graders passed the reading TAKS test and 42% recieved commened. So before you think of this school being bad come to the school and learn the real facts becauses the parents that have put bad reviews on here don't go to the school and don't have a real taste of Thornton Middle School.

My daughter is a 6 grader. To be honest i was very worried before the school yr started, simply because of the reviews on this website. My daughter seems to enjoy the school. Although we both find there is not enough extra curr. Available to the students. I am a firm believer that in order for our children to succeed we must as parents keep in constant contact with the school and teachers. Its our resp as parents to express to our children that we expect their best efforts in their school works. I find that email is an excellent communication for busy working parents. I think the only thing lacking in this school is better extra curr for the students, some thing to make them interested in learning.
