Best Public Schools in Thomasville, AL

Summary:

The city of Thomasville, Alabama is home to three public schools serving students from elementary through high school: Thomasville Elementary School, Thomasville High School, and Thomasville Middle School. These schools serve a predominantly African American and White student population, with high rates of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating significant socioeconomic challenges in the Thomasville City district.

Among the three schools, Thomasville Elementary School stands out as a consistent performer, maintaining a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past three school years. The school excels in 3rd and 4th grade English, as well as 4th grade science, outperforming the state average in these areas. In contrast, Thomasville High School struggles with low proficiency rates in mathematics, particularly in 11th grade, where only 11.54% of students are proficient or better, significantly below the state average of 23.12%. The school's 2-star rating in the 2023-2024 school year also suggests a potential decline in overall academic performance.

Thomasville Middle School demonstrates mixed results, with strong performance in 5th and 6th grade English but lower than state averages in mathematics across all grade levels. The school ranks in the top half of Alabama middle schools, placing 179th out of 442 in the 2023-2024 school year, and maintains a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. Addressing the socioeconomic challenges faced by the district and implementing targeted interventions, particularly in mathematics, could be crucial in improving student outcomes across all three Thomasville schools.
