The ratings of this school tell a story. Black students at this school are not treated with the same respect and dignity as students of other races. I had a nephew and close friend whose daughter also attended. My nephew attended 4 years ago, my friend’s daughter attends two years ago and my son is a current student. Unfortunately, we have all had similar experiences with different instructors and office staff. The lack of care and instruction black students receive is likely the reason the test results reflect the way they do. I am looking in to pulling my son out after the school year. This school lacks diversity amongst the staff which is very telling. I hate that my son had to experience the lack of compassion and care he experienced at this school especially being in the 1st grade. Parents with children of color, do NOT send your children here.

Did full research before sending my child to this school for kindergarten. Ms. Weisanthal is the most passionate and amazing teacher one can ask for. Entire staff is fully committed and enthusiasm shows in their actions. Now my two daughters go to Sandra Thompson. Truly this school is underrated as it SHOULD be 10/10 compare to many other private, magnet and charter schools. AB

Mr. Halland is the greatest principal I have seen. He is hands on with the children and closely monitors the classrooms to make sure the teachers and students are meeting requirements. They do send home a substantial amount of homework, however I feel that promotes parent involvement which is an important part of student success.

A perfect 10 out of 10!!! This principal and staff genuinely cares about the students and the school. I LOVE THIS SCHOOL and I regret placing my daughter in the Magnet program at another school!!

My kids have gone to Thompson for the past 5 years. I love the teachers and all the staff. Ms. Suzi, Ms. Shelly and Ms. Danielle in the office are amazing. The PTA is extremely active run by some amazing moms and dads. I am proud to be a part of a wonderful school and to send my children who are both Honor Roll and G.A.T.E. The test scores are some of the highest in the city here. My son is moving on to middle school but my daughter will continue on. One grateful parent here!

As a grandparent and volunteer of a student here at Thompson ES, all I can do is shake my head at some of these one star reviews. It's apparent that something didn't happen exactly as they wanted, so what better to do than unleash the beast on a school so undeserving. Let me address a few things...Racism? Are you serious?!Pulling the race card is an easy thing to do, but what it really is, is a disgrace.Thompson welcomes every child and family. Race plays no part. Bullying?! I know firsthand that Thompson has ZERO TOLERANCE for bullying. Get your facts straight! "Dangerous things concerning your child"?? Again, get your facts straight.The principal and his entire staff have been nothing but professional,kind and welcoming. I know they go above and beyond to ensure that ALL are treated equally. I have witnessed a disgruntled parent lash out at Mr. Halland as well as the front office ladies. They remained professional, while being yelled at for simply doing their jobs. I know many parents who have students here at Thompson. I have a solution to your unhappiness with this school... go somewhere else.We LOVE Thompson!

Great! I have been volunteering for the last two years and can't sayenough about how great the ladies are in the front office. I always geta warm greeting and smile. I see them take a lot of grief from parentswanting to take a child out of school early or change something on file when they don't have any ID on them to prove who there are. Then rip into them when they apologize and explain they can't without it. Iwould think it makes more sense to get upset if they DID NOT ask foridentification. These rules are in place for the safety of our children.

I love this school for multiple reasons. I love several of the Teachers, I love the ladies in the front office, I love how interactive they are with the parents, I love how Mr. Holland dresses up for school occasions, I love how they do all sorts of events that involves the whole family and i really really love Shelly Reese! I have 2 kids enrolled in Thompson and can not wait for my 3 year old daughter to start Kindergarten, I hope she gets Mrs. Roberts

GREAT SCHOOL !EVERYTHING ABOUT IT HAS BEEN ONLY A POSITIVE EXPERIENCE. SOME OF THE STUFF WRITTEN IS SUCH NONSENSE. IT'S 2017 !SCHOOL HAS HAD A 4 AND 5 RANKED RATING FOR YEARS (1-5 STARS RATING SYSTEM), OBVIOUSLY IT STANDS FOR EXCELLENT CUSTOMER SERVICE FROM ADMINISTRATION, FRONT OFFICE, TEACHERS AND STAFF..

Horrible customer service at this place, terribly rude principal (or lack thereof), can't understand how these people still have jobs, check the google reviews about the front office staff and principal they are atrocious. Worst school I have ever dealt with and CCSD should be ashamed to call this an educational institution. If you're not good at overlooking dangerous things concerning your child, STAY AWAY from this place.

Our son has been going to Sandra Thompson Elementary for the past 3 years and all I can say about this school are great things. The staff is incredible. I have been very please with all our son's teachers. To me they all have seemed to gone that extra mile for him. Now to the complainers. You all must of went in on your own bad day and wanted to stir something up because Suzy is out of this world, a wonderful,helpful and very pleasant LADY! How sad to take your anger or whatever on a LADY who has always went the extra mile to assist any parent when needed. Mr. Holland, I tip my hat to this young man, he has his hands full but always finds the time for the students and parents, I have seen him interact with the children and I am very pleased on this. The office staff is out of this world!! We had a few security issues come up, the school staff and drivers did way more and beyond to provide protection needed for our son/sons as they worked very closely with us. It was nice knowing my son was safe while in school and getting home. I do wish the school offered after school activities and I do understand why the do not, other then that I personally would rate Sandra Thompson Elementary School and Staff 12 stars out of 10.Thank you to the outstanding Staff of Sandra Thompson for again another wonderful year and we look so forward to seeing you all next year.KEITH JOHNSON

My daughter has been attending this school since the start of her Kindergarten year. The principal is a really great guy that is extremely involved with the children and ensures that the school stays on track for what is best for everyone. Every single teacher my daughter has had has been amazing especially considering the amount of children in their classrooms. I have never felt that the office staff have been rude. In fact, they have been the opposite. They are always helpful. However they are strict and firm about certain matters for the safety and well-being of the children and teachers. I heard many horror stories about Las Vegas schools. This one feels like a small community oriented school. My daughter is now in the fourth grade there and she could not be happier.

This school has taken I to account the means to teach versus tell. I abosolutly love this school. The teachers and staff are always helpful. Thank you for everything.

I second the "rude blonde office worker".....She is a miserable person and needs to work elsewhere. Replacing the entire office staff including administrators would make this a better school. Only have 1 more year there till we move.
Submitted by parent on May 23, 2013

Really don't care for the blonde that works in the office. Haven't like you from day one. You are rude and very unhelpful. If you don't like your job, get a new one!

My daughter is in the 3rd grade and loves her teacher! I also approve of her teacher's teaching skills and the way she interacts with her students. All of the staff is very friendly and helpful. I would recommend this school to someone moving to the area!
