I have went to the Thayer School district all of my life and the teachers here are wonderful. They do a great job with the limited resources that a small school can offer. Overall, Thayer High School is a great place to get a small school experience.

Thayer High School is a very small school with 50 students in the graduating 2020 class. All of my teachers know who I am and are very helpful. The schools strict no bullying policy has made this school a safe and enjoyable place. There's nothing that really comes to mind when thinking about what I would like to see change because it is a fantastic and very welcoming school.

It has been nothing but a great experience for my son. Best community support ever of the students, everyone gets involved. Administration and office workers have always been there for any questions or concerns. My son's coaches were really good and really loved their players and wanted them to succeed. Academics were good. My son was able to get 9 hours of college credit while still attending high school.
