“Thomas Worthington High School does not tolerate bullying. The school have zero tolerance. Ms. Julie King and Mr. Bluvar are awesome employees, and will not tolerate students being bullied by other students attending the school.If this is happening to your child, please report it immediately.”

“I have found that Thomas Worthington does not adress bullying or any other problems that have occured. In the last several years Worthington has been getting worse and worse. I have wanted to switch to Olentangy or Hiliard over what has been happening. It is becoming more and more like Columbus public schools, with no real teacher or staff authority/involvement. There has not been any real violence, however there are lots of punk kids with poor atitudes and bad work ethics. Several of my friends have had things stolen and the school hardly acknoledges the problem. The school has also had to cut several teachers, so that means there will be more students in each classroom in the following years. I would recommend not going to Thomas, but possibly going to Worthington Kilbourne. Any other schools outside of Thomas Worthington, or Columbus Public would be a good option.”

“My child attends Worthington High School. I have been very impressed with her four years of education at Thomas Worthington. The only negative thing I can see about the school is the Spanish department. Other than that, I think the school is great!”

“the academic program is very good, except for the spanish program. The music, art, sports are very good at our school. The parents can get involved based on if they want to or not.”

“Both of my kids go to Thomas and it's a pretty rounded school. The issues I have and have had in the past is the bullying, dress codes & there's a lot of favoritism when it comes to sports. As for the bullying it's never addressed. The dress code is a big issue. I couldn't believe that parents actually let their daughters out of their house with the clothes they are wearing at school. You can see if they're wearing thong underwear and the color of their bra's. What is up with this dress code? The last thing I don't agree with is the sports. There's too much favoritism from the coaches to the 'popular kids'. The purpose of sports in school should be to learn to be a team player and to have fun and this is not what is going on.”

“TWHS has a well-deserved reputation as one of the best schools in Ohio. Aside from what you read about in the paper - it leads the state in National Merit Scholars, or has the premier drama department or soccer program, just to give a couple of examples - I can say from the personal experience of raising three children through the school, that Thomas Worthington comes as close to being all things to all people as a top-notch school can. My kids left the school happy, mature and well-educated for top college experiences.”

“I graduated in 2000. The only thing bad I can say was that some of the teachers never seemed to care about a student's well being, only about getting through the teaching material. I just think that diminishes the quality of a teacher. That's not all of them, but those are the one's that stick out to me the most. Some of the teachers are a bit unproffesional too, getting just as caught up in popularity as the student body does and only focusing on a student's image.”

“My son went to Worthington schools from start to finish, graduation from Thomas Worthington. He had learning disabilities and was offered so much help and support from the school. I would refer Worthington schools to anyone who wants a good school for thier children. The teachers are great, the atmosphere is wonderful. Thanks to all his teachers and tutors. He was in the class of 2002.”

“I graduated in 1999, and i'm embarrassed to have attended this school. The teachers aren't very good and the school doesn't care about helping a child grow intellectually. Instead the school only cares about keeping high test scores and students who will enhance their image.”

“Of all the suburban schools that I visited in the surrounding area, I must say that this is one of the worst schools to send a child. The teachers and administrators care more about a student's 'social status' than they do about a student's classroom performance or conduct. The leadership of the school is also very weak, as many of the employees are 'suburban wannabes' and let the parents tell them what to do. Very sad.”

“I graduated from Thomas Worthington and have a very high opinion of the educational opportunities there! The academics are excellent and it has one of the best Drama programs I've ever heard of. (Also an exceptional Choir program).”
