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 is a great school to learn at if you actually listen to the teachers. They have many ways to help someone get their grades up, and many of the teachers are very helpful if you just ask for the help you need. The student body is very supportive of our sports and clubs, and so are the parents of the students. We all really come together when we have something to work for.
