Thompson School District

The Thompson School District in Connecticut is home to 3 schools, including 1 elementary school, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. The data reveals a mix of strengths and areas for improvement across the district.

Mary R. Fisher Elementary School stands out as the highest-performing school in the district, consistently outperforming the state average in SBAC English Language Arts and Mathematics for 3rd and 4th grades. With a low student-teacher ratio of 12:1 and a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger, this school appears to have effective teaching practices and resource allocation. In contrast, Thompson Middle School and Tourtellotte Memorial High School perform below the district and state averages in various assessments, indicating a need for improvement. The high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at these schools may be a contributing factor to their lower performance.

Across the district, there is a significant racial imbalance, with Mary R. Fisher Elementary School having a much higher percentage of white students compared to the middle and high schools. This could suggest a need to examine the district's policies and practices to ensure equitable access and opportunities for all students, regardless of their racial background. Overall, the Thompson School District has room for improvement, particularly at the middle and high school levels, and could benefit from examining its best practices and allocating resources to address the disparities in student outcomes.
