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.

Thomson High school is a highly diverse school. Alot of it's benefits lies with administration where they are always willing to help and will guide you to the right spot but it does come with downsides. Thomson High school is a little packed/ overcrowded and students tend to create problems withing the learning environment.

The best part of attending Thomson school was some of my teachers who helped me through the 4 years, the worst part was Thomson high school was having 3 pep rally's during the entire 4 years and no other fun gathering with my class mates.

Many different clubs to chose from. Would like to see all sports being supported instead of some sports. Some teachers don't do a very good job at explaining material, and fail to keep kids from disrupting class.

This school has been on a downward trajectory for the last 10-15 yrs...... It lacks real leadership at the top and the accountability of the students and teachers is almost zero. I'm ashamed of how far this school has fallen. No discipline, no accountability, no moral code, and they are pushing kids...
