At Thornton Academy, I've had a great time although its biggest setback is the school being old. It needs some good cleaning and redesign on the facilities to help students learn and improve more.

I loved going to Thornton Academy, I enjoyed going to class, sports, and events. I only thing id want to see change is how much parking there is.

the school itself is very pretty and the campus is great. the staff varies, some are super great and some are just there. the food is really great. the students could be better but that also varies.
