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.

I am student that goes to Rodney Thompson and I am currently in 7th grade. I think that this school is great. The teachers and staff that work here make me feel safe and ready to learn every single day! One day I aspire to go to Harvard and I think that Thompson can definitely help me achieve this. This is why I think that Thompson is a great school
