Thunderbird is just like any typical public high school in Arizona. I would say the students in my grade have been extremely hard-working and dedicated to their future. The teachers also seem to care. There have been a few scandals here and there, but there is always a safe place to report and communicate. Good college readiness. Thunderbird has developed throughout my high school career, 2021-2025.

The school offers valuable resources and academic opportunities for all students. My daughters teachers have been a great support and positive influence.

I am currently a senior at THS and the experience so far has been amazing. The staff are really engaged with everyone and it feels safe to go to school everyday. Thunderbird is a A rated school for academics as well!

Child is a recent graduate and had great teachers all 4 years. my only complaint with the school is that their "career center" is very mediocre and does little to help kids research post high school things. Very hard for kids to get one on one help, encouragement, advise on continuing their educatio...

As the parent of two graduates in the last five years, I would rate this school 5 stars. I graduated from here in 1981, it was average, but I see why it now consistently churns out national merit scholars and Speech and Debate among the best in the state. Ignore the 1* Star ratings...most likely fro...
