Summary:

Thomasville High School stands out for its diverse student population, with a racial makeup of 40.31% White, 57.19% African American, 0.94% Hispanic, and 1.56% Asian. This is in contrast to the nearby Clarke County High School, which has a student body that is 30.94% White and 66.04% African American. Academically, Thomasville High School has shown mixed performance, with proficiency rates in Mathematics, Science, and English falling below the state averages, but the school's English proficiency has been relatively stronger in recent years.

Thomasville High School also faces some challenges, including a higher percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds compared to the state average, and a declining statewide ranking over the years. The school's performance varies significantly among different student subgroups, with African American students performing relatively well, but female students and those from low-socioeconomic backgrounds performing significantly lower. While Clarke County High School has lower academic performance overall, it may provide an interesting comparison point for Thomasville High School's efforts to address its own challenges and improve student outcomes.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
