(1 / 5) Flag as inappropriate - I went to Thrasher as well and could not wait to get out. I hated it. If you're not a teacher's pet, kid or have a big last name you'll fall by the side.

- I graduated from Thrasher and it was awful....I attended from K-12 and walked at the top of my class but it wasn't easy and only a few people liked it...some teachers do care about the students but most are so new that they don't really have a chance to care....my senior year i had a five class schedule and out of those five teachers only three really did anything to help me prepare for college and life after.....i would have to say that unless you are a teacher's kid do not go to this school.....

(4 / 5) Flag as inappropriate - Thrasher High School is one of the best schools anyone can find or even began to look for. I am a proud memeber of the Beta Club and i think that Thrasher deserves a little more respect than we are accounted for. Although many people would not like the idea of attending Thrasher, i could not think that any other school would be more benifical to me or anyone else involved in anything at Thrasher.
