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.

I recently moved to Thayer High School at the begining of my Junior year. The school is very relaxed and a decent education. The teaches are for the most part great educaters. The lunch is great, but the entire school environment is very calm and easygoing.

It was pretty great; my best memories are of working in the Ag department. Orf is a great teacher. The Admin has kinda changed around a lot, though.
