Thomas B. Riley School | Calgary Board of Education

All of the good teachers are leaving or have left. This school is broke and broken (you would think they'd fix the vending machines by now) This school is actual trash, which explains the raccoon mascot.Just escape while you can

School is a no. In the mornings, buses come so early at the school and we are expected to wait outside. Todays weather forecast said it felt like -20 degrees out, but we were forced to wait outside in the freezing weather for over 10 mins while the staff inside the school just stared at us and guarded the doors. I find it funny how on the website, it says that they “provide a warm place for students before and after school” on cold days, however we all had to wait until they FELT like they wanted to let us in.Secondly, one teacher especially in this school (k) is quite rude and constantly yells at us for the smallest things. Its literally NOT right that us students should be afraid of a teacher while simply asking a question. As well, she never considers our feelings and makes “ sarcastic jokes” which she only finds funny…Lastly, one gym teacher gets me really mad a lot of the time. Although she is sometimes nice, she constantly yells at us for things that aren’t even our fault. Our class was all lined up waiting for her to take attendance at the start of class, however, she began yelling at us for “taking her class time”. I find this quite hypocritical as she was the one who was on the other side of the gym chatting with another teacher while we all were waiting for her to start. On top of that, when it was very cold and windy outside in the winter, we had to do gym outside. Although we were all dressed up and ready for the weather, it was still extremely cold. We asked her if we could go inside for awhile but she began to go on about how we should be more dressed and it was our fault.Anyways, the only things that keep us going at school are the very few nice teachers. Lol

I've been going to this school since 2020 and the teachers are so annoying, especially Ms. Ladd. If you ask her for help she's literally going to roll her eyes at you. She gets annoyed for the most littlest things ever. Mr. Potter literally comes to school sick and doesn't even wear a mask. I'd say the only good teachers were Ms. Eagleson and Ms. Holt

im a grade 9 student and i have been here since grade 7, my years in gr7 and 8 were a lot better because we had good staff. yes there is a couple good teachers here still like the gym teachers, like ms.holt, and mr.stanley and ms.donnahue they treat you like humans unlike lots of other teachers at this school.at this school you should expect lots of conflict between community and tlc kids, which makes so much unessisary conflict.the bathrooms are absolutely disgusting, meaning the stall doors fall off on a daily and are not very private and need a overall update.students need to stop getting suspended for small reasons for example staff never listens to the students side of the story.this school wastes all of there funds on things like vending machines, and new laptops when we could use money on things like new gym equipment, new stage items etc.our school is to small and overpopulated and needs more classrooms.this school also dosent take rascim seriously as well they dont stop problems that they say they will.our school gr9 grad cant even afford cake, they have to fundraise during the whole year to have something fun for only some studentsif all these changes could become a thing i would probably rate this school to be a better place for students and teachers.

Teachers are midBrokeness is midBias between programs is midSchool almost burning down (May 11 2023) because someone was smoking a blunt was midOverall would not recommend

Money hungry school one 50 gram pack of peanuts at the vending machines casts freaking $3.00 CAD. also please fire this idoit called mr. wow this school makes me want to kill myself. also the teachers are so annoying, especially Ms. Ladd. If you ask her for help she's literally going to roll her eyes and or scream at you. She gets annoyed for the smallest things ever. Mr. Potter literally comes to school sick and doesn't even wear a mask. I'd say the only good teachers were Ms. Eagleson, Ms. Holt and mr pullan. Also let's talk about the CLEAR bais towards the TLC kids the TLC kids are the most annoying agressive people YOU WILL EVER MEET beacuse they know they won't get punished due to the schools bais toward TLC kids due to the fact they meke the school more money. You will also see somebody cring in the hallway or the bathroom at leat once a day amd honestly I just feel bad.TL:DR go here to waste your money on vending machines and get suicudal thoughts while getting yelled at for asking a question.

The school almost burnt down because of 2 vapers. Not an ideal school my guy.
