"My son transferred to Thurston from Newport-Mesa School District last year and the difference is night and day. LBUSD is amazing and Thurston is a prime example. The facilities and teachers are top notch and they don't have any of the ridiculous "policies" or petty bureaucratic tyrants that plague many schools. My son loves it and is doing much better than he ever has. As soon as you set foot on this campus and meet the staff you'll be sold, but you won't really know how good it is until school starts. It's really an idyllic school."

"This District has one middle school, budge reserves, highly paid teachers, affluent families, a private fundraising 'Schoolpower' donating over $200,000 year --- why aren't we scoring higher?"

"My daughter has been at Thurston for three years and is now doing better academically than she ever has. She loves school and has terrific teachers; the teachers and administrators make it fun and exciting to come to school. This is important at an age when a lot of kids lose interest in school. Dr. Joanne Culverhouse has assembled a team that makes the kids feel cared for and part of something worthy. She has endless energy and enthusiasm and is always available. We're very happy at Thurston."
