School is very focused on athletics. Many different sports and clubs. I wish there was more talk about improving academics though.
3/23/2025
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.
11/20/2024
My experience at Thornton Academy was pretty decent, I do not necessarily have any complaints. All of my teachers have been helpful and supportive. The honors and AP curriculum is high and well executed. Sports is big at out school. I'm a big fan of our arts department as well.
