The best part of St. Thomas Aquinas is the strong sense of community. The student body is ever involved in the school by volunteering, attending football games, joining clubs, and they express their love for the school passionately. The worst part would be the grading system. St. Thomas Aquinas does not include minuses, for example, A-, B-, C-, etc. Under a 92% would be a B+ while in other school it would be an A-.

I would like the lunch rooms to be more clean in the future, considering that there are rat traps lined throughout the walls of the lunchroom. Most staff is friendly and helpful, but certain teachers are very rude and unapproachable. My high school experience is pretty decent, considering the friends I've made along the way and activities I have been able to become involved with.
