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've been a student in Thorsby High School since 2nd grade and I love this place. It might be small and not known as much, but has amazing teachers that help you actually learn. I wouldn't change anything from Thorsby High School, but if I would have to change something it would be to make this school bigger.

Teachers took a genuine interest in their students. They wanted everyone to succeed and did whatever they could to help. Being a small school, it was limited on the elective classes offered.
