GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Thornton has some of the most caring and diligent staff and teachers that I have ever seen. I attended the school from 2008-2010 and the teachers all did their absolute best to help the students get back on the right path. I was only able to graduate due to their support and encouragement.
