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.

I love Thorpe!!! This school is engaged with the kids and family. Approachable and organized. Mrs. Gagnon the secretary and Mrs. Ward principal are a great duo. They are always on top of everything. The teachers are amazing. After almost 6 years and 2, now 3 kids going through this elementary school I have nothing to complain. My kids have or had IEPs and the aids are amazing. I am so thankful for this school, the impact that has in my family and everything that represents.
