My experience in Thomas stone has been amazing, but the kids are the problem they don't know how to act and no matter what the staff do they don't listen. Some staff members have some attitude issues but overall most are good.

The best part is by far the school spirit and participation. The worst part is probably the lack of academic discipline.

The best parts of my experiences at Thomas Stone are definitely chorus activities and the many extra curricular activities. The school is talked bad about too often which makes me kind of upset.

I have little to no bad experiences except for the annoying fights and the disruptive students in the restrooms.
