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.

My overall experience with Thomaston High School has been a positive one. I am involved in student government and mentoring at our elementary school. Our teachers work very closely with students, as our student to teacher ratio is low. Thomaston is a very small school which allows for a sense of community.

Bullying is a definitive problem at this school. 11 and 12 yr olds have to ride the same bus as 16-18 yr olds and they are constantly picked on and physically abused without reprisal from the school administration. I normally call the Police when this happens. Consider other schools for your childre...
