Thompson School District R-2j

Summary:

The Thompson School District R-2j in Colorado is home to a diverse set of 30 schools, including 20 elementary schools, 4 middle schools, 5 high schools, and 1 alternative school. The district serves a wide range of students, with schools varying in size, academic performance, and student demographics.

Several schools stand out in the district, including Berthoud High School, which ranks 86th out of 349 Colorado high schools and has a 4-star rating, as well as Coyote Ridge Elementary School and New Vision Charter School, which both rank in the top 30% of Colorado elementary schools and have 4-star ratings.

Overall, the Thompson School District R-2j appears to have a diverse range of educational options, with both high-performing and low-performing schools. Addressing the achievement gaps between the district's best and worst-performing schools will likely be a key focus for the district moving forward.
