Thurston Middle School

"I'm a 6th grade here in thurston and this is completely absurd because the year book is 50 FREAKISHLY NG DOLLARS!! I want a year book but I'm not wasting my money.. And what, is this really some kind of expensive store the sweater is $20 whyyyyyyy??"

"It's a little strict, but to be honest it is one of the best schools. They have a gold ribbon, and they prepare you for the life ahead of you. I enjoy everyday there!"

"My son transferred from Whittier school district to Thurston last year. What a difference this school has had on him. He loves it and is doing very well! Great school!!"

"i am a 7th grader at thurston middle school and i hate it. everything about the school is completely stupid. this should not be apart of schools to watch nor should it be even a school. i would not recommend this school to anyone. it would practically be a choice between Hell (Thurston) or homeschool. i would rather choose home school. the whole part of school should be fun not TORTURE like this school. and its a public school right and you think you can buy lunch there, well no the lunches are waaay to expensive and when you do buy the lunch they don't even give you anything to hold you over for the rest of school. and another problem that i have with this school is the time school starts is way to early, science says that "our brains do not start working 100% until around AM10:00" but nooooo thurston makes it so you have to start school at around 8:45 in the morning. the other thing is that they give out way to much homework if you want your child to be doing ho,work right when he/she gets home from school to 10:00 at night and have them get no sleep go ahead and sign them right up for this crappy school. they do not have full control of the school nor do they have good educated teachers. and if your children are a gifted student like me(which supposed to mean that you learn in a higher education level then other kids and you like to learn a different way) then they take your saying as "gifted" like oh your child has mental issueds lets just put them with an adult that followes them around all day and watches them eat and do there work. and with that they put you in a class called ACADEMIC SUPPORT which is made for people that have bad learning disabilities such as freaking out in the middle of class and such. you can not even get any work done in that class without someone with tourettes yelling loudly every 5 seconds. do not send your kids to thurston middle school if you love them"
