My time there was great! There was a great sense of community and the teachers were amazing. Also, there were many foreign exchange students.

Absolutely horrible. the worst staff,The principle is so rude. I walked into school one day wearing sweatpants and a hoodie, the principle told me to my face that i should have dressed up. This event really hurt my self esteem. worst time of my life. The staff is very underpaid which is why all the teachers leave and they keep hiring somehow worse staff

Horrible and frustrating! All three of my children have attended and the experience has been bad across the board. Looking for alternatives now as I don’t want them to go there anymore.

I am so happy that I had the chance to attend TRHS. At the end of the day, it was a great school that provided me with many opportunities, and a sense of community throughout my school that I believe is uncommon in many other schools.

This is a terrible school for my children. My son is struggling in Math and the math teachers are not consistent with their instructional materials. The math teachers really don't care and have the usual chip on their shoulders. I'll be escalating this issue to the School Board, since the teachers will not work with the parents.

There's a place for everyone here. Great curriculum. Outstanding school spirit and student involvement. I've sent both my kids through ThunderRidge and am so glad I did!

It's a great school if you don't need guidance at anytime during your 4 years there. If you have a student who has high expectations and abilities and succumbs to the pressure, don't expect help. And if you do ask for help, don't ask for too much, because you will be avoided and ignored.

Thunderidge was a really bad experience for us, our son has learning disabilities and is on an IEP and while there were some good teachers here and there I felt it was not a good school. The worst thing was the lack of good communication with the parents and students. it made everything harder. There was also very troubling lack of safety and responsibility with some staff and administration. Not a good experience and glad it is behind us now.

My daughter is a senior and has recieved an excellent education. I do believe that if a child too is applying themselves they can achieve. She has been enrolled in the honors program and is leaving the school with a waited gpa of 4.4 and unwaited of 3.9. Because of her education and her own ability she was accepted to Colorado College, the "Stanford of Colorado." I will add that the voucher program may have a negative effect on money availab le to bring in good teachers and would encourage most districts not to award individuals tax money for families chosing private schools over public k-12.
