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.

Thunder Basin High School was a very fun school to attend. The students are very active in sports and other activities such as clubs or musical arts. The school culture and drive for success by students is very inspiring. The main problem with the school is the teachers some teacher are very good at there jobs but others are below average at best often slacking off or just straight up giving some kids advantages that others would be grateful for. Overall it was a good school and I wouldn't be disappointed for my own kids to some day attend my alma mater.

My experience has been fine. It's not been the best but it also hasn't been the worst. I would like to see teenagers set up for life better.

The teachers are very good at understanding the student's needs and connecting to them on a personal level. I have gotten plenty of opportunities as someone who does art. The art department has great resources and is taken seriously. One problem is that our school is fairly new so there is hardly any school spirit or traditions. It is extremely difficult to get participants in spirit weeks or student sections.
