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.

Thurston elementary is absolutely amazing school. I was very happy with the attentiom and care my kids had. For the past three years, every teacher had surpassed my expectation. After experiencing four other schools, thurston has been the best out of them. Even after changing the principal, thurston maintained its standard of teaching.
