  • Thorp is a solid school academically, but the building is definitely showing its age when it comes to the 'wellness' side of things. I've noticed quite a few board agendas lately for stuff like repairing peeling walls and fixing bad air flow switches, which makes me a little nervous about the ventilation and general air quality in the classrooms. It feels like they're always playing catch-up with maintenance, and for a magnet school, you'd hope for a bit more of a modern, clean environment. On the plus side, the staff is usually pretty responsive when kids are out sick, but the physical state of some of the rooms could definitely use an upgrade to feel truly healthy.
