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.

Thunder Ridge High School is a great school! It is very small which makes it easy to be involved in many things. Small classes also make it easier to get help from teachers when needed. I wish math and science scores were higher.

Decent high school, with the opportunity to create good relationships with your teachers, but I felt very ill-prepared for college. Not much opportunity for advance classes here. I felt like I was behind right when I arrived at college. Not a good feeling.
