The school's graduation rates have also fluctuated, ranging from a low of 77.8% in 2020-2021 to a high of 100% in 2022-2023, but the 2023-2024 four-year graduation rate of 86.4% is still below the state average.

Thompsonville High School faces significant challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates, reaching as high as 34.9% in 2022-2023, and serving a relatively high proportion of low-socioeconomic status students, with 48.54% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch in 2022-2023. The school's performance has declined over the years, as evidenced by its decreasing statewide ranking from 141 out of 643 Illinois high schools in 2015-2016 to 556 out of 697 in 2023-2024. Addressing these issues will require a comprehensive approach, including targeted interventions, increased funding and resource allocation, and collaboration with the broader community to support student success.

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.
