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.
12/27/2024
The best part of Thornton Academy is the community while the worst part is the timing of classes. I think there should be more than five minutes between each class personally. I would like to see a change in timing even if students have to start school earlier.
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.
