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.

TMHS has a wonderful dynamic, with teachers that care, and lots of options. The music program is top notch, and your teachers want to see you succeed. The only thing is that you need to be careful with certain teachers with certain classes. Sometimes they have too much on their plate to care about certain classes, and it's important to be aware of that.

Thunder Mountain was a great school, I never felt any exclusion while I was there. The administration was extremely helpful and the teachers were all amazing at their jobs. If I ever needed help in a class I knew I could always go to a teacher for help.

the school is fine, the teachers are mostly ok but I would say that our school has some of the craziest teachers that should not be teaching but because there isn't enough money to hire and train other teachers the bad teachers continue to teach. Also, the school has a lot of really easy fixes that aren't expensive, some only take a screwdriver, but the school won't fix them. For example, all of the bathroom stalls in the girl's locker room don't close. It is a pretty simple fix yet it has been like that since before I was a freshman.

Very kind school, some teachers are iffy but it's an overall great time. People are treated fairly and, the dress code is very fair. Some teachers are jerks but you just have to get on their good side.

The only thing I have to complain about I that the way the school is built does not make it feel like a high school. The colored wings are juvenile and remind me of middle or elementary school. The spikes on the ceiling, metal, and concrete remind me of a jail. Never the less, the school is beautifu...

An excellent school and a friendly social environment. This school might be new, but there is no negative interactions within and it already has a great activity program.

I have to agree with the posted review. As a parent of a graduating senior I have found very little response to inquiries regarding my student from the teachers. I have encouraged communication by sending emails and have them go unanswered it could take 3 -4 emails to get response from the teacher....
