(5 / 5) Flag as inappropriate - thornton middle school was not as bad as the person before me is making it seem. .. there were bad students ( which you are going to have at any school ) but they weren't bad enough to put offensive labels on . everybody has there own opinion about how it was but there also was a certain crowd that you fit into

- Everyone thinks they are "GANGSTER". During P.E. all you see are cracks, boxers, ect.! The teachers may be alright, but they let off these troublemakers too easily. They don't really get in trouble! And last year sixth graders didn't even get to have lockers because there was so many students, most of which are wannabe-gangsters or too snotty to act normal! overall review of Thornton Middle School... pretty bad.>.<
