Thayer has a safe and inclusive atmosphere with supportive teachers and staff. Thayer is an outstanding school that provides a well-rounded education, fostering both academic excellence and personal growth.

Overall great school. Administration and faculty deeply care about the kids and their work. Supportive culture and an abundance of resources available to families. Opportunities to streamline communication, improve parent engagement (seems like the same small group of parents doing everything), and faculty diversity.
6/15/2023
Students are stuck up and miserable, Parents are unwilling to communicate or accept that their students are sub par, Teachers are trying but not hard. Worst school experience I have had in my 6 different schools.

AS A FORMER STUDENT AND PARENT I CONSIDER THE THAYER EXPERIENCE TO BE VERY SPECIAL. The academics address all ability levels. New emphasis has been placed on the ARTS PROGRAM. The hard sciences and HUMANITIES COURSES HAVE BEEN WATERED DOWN IN RECENT YEARS AS THE administration has become increasingl...
