The teachers (Mrs. Harris, Mrs. Perez, Ms. Helland, Ms. Iverson) that my sons have had are amazing. They are always communicating with parents and keeping them up to date. The principal is friendly and constantly engaging with the students. The specialist are interactive and fun to be in class with per my kids. Mr Hurt the gym teacher inspires my kids to go out and have fun and motivates them; One thing I find amazing is that the gym teacher greets my kids every morning by name. It shows me they take extra time to know who my child is, to the staff at Thompson my child is not just a number and a statistic but a person. So far my experience in Thompson has been great.

10/10!!! I am so pleased we have had the opportunity to come to this school. My daughter has excelled in just about 6 months of entering Thompson. Her teacher Mrs. Shock is by far our favorite teacher. I am happy with the strong work ethic the students are being taught, the all around happiness you feel when you enter the front doors, each teacher is ready to teach and happy they get to socialize at lunch rather then stuck in a classroom watching a movie unable to talk

My fourth child will be starting here this year. We love this school. The teachers do all they can to help set the kids up for success. The only thing Downside is the congruence a are not as personalized as I would like.

This school has a atmosphere of bullying. My children came to this school in 2014 and there have been numerous incidents of both my children coming home bruised and the school's idea of taking care of this issue is to say it doesn't happen. The principal actually blamed my children, saying that they were homeschooled so they are the problem, never mind that my neighbors child has to play in the library everyday because they are also bullied. Horrible administrative staff!
