No, i do not. I witnessed heinous fights. Over my 4 years at the school we got a school shooting threat every few months. Someone waved a gun around in the parking lot. They dont take sexual assault seriously. They search you every 5 seconds. The school events arent even worth it. This school is awful

This is a very dangerous school. A student advised me that is it normal for students to bring guns to school here daily. The security cameras outside do not work. Do not allow you child to attend.

All three of my kids graduated from here. I would give it a 7. Overall experience was good but too many teachers don’t help enough. They definitely need better Math Teachers. The Principal is great and the Band is a wonderful program!

i graduated from there. the teachers and staff were friendly. Also, there is a high sense of pride among students. The sports and band are top-notch. I think it's a good school to go to.

This school is a mockery of education. There is no teaching here. There is no punishment for misconduct. You diploma is a joke. It is embarrising to say i am graduating from Theodore High School.

The first thing I can start talking about is the "staff." They aren't "staff..." they sit on the computer and don't care about the students...all they care about is being payed...about any school in Alabama has NO education...I'll NEVER live in Alabama due to terrible education. 2nd...NO homework...NO studying..how are you going to get INTO College? You simply CAN'T! I ask this girl daily..how much homework did you get..her responce "I dont get no homework." Hmm.....that's not good at all..such a school to get you "educated." 3. Kids can text on the phone, MAKE PHONE CALLS, etc WITHOUT the teacher caring.....hmm..this school REALLY has LOTS of issues...if you don't believe me go into the school for a day and the "teachers" will sit and do nothing.

I sent my son to this school and for a child who did pretty well in missdle school he completely bottomed out at Theodore. I went to his school one day unannounced and baby sitting is just about the correct term for this school. Kids chewed gum in class, had their own conversations while the teachers where teaching, some even got up and left the class with out asking! The children cussed in ffront of teachers and when asked about it they said they could send them to the officce but tha the office would just send them back without punishment. I couldn't get my child out fast enough to try out Baker. I wont let Theodore ruin another child of mine.

I graduated from Theodore High School five years ago. All I can say, is I hope that they improved a great deal! I consider my self an average student. I struggled with most of my classes because the teachers there did not 'teach'. They baby sat. As you can tell, most of the current students who commented on this school can't even spell. I am not trying to offend any one or be rude. I am trying to be brutally honest. Unless there have been some major changes, I would not recommend this school!
