Summary:
The city of Thomas, Oklahoma is home to three schools that serve students from elementary through high school: Thomas Elementary School, Thomas-Fay-Custer Unified Junior High School, and Thomas-Fay-Custer Unified High School. These schools are part of the Thomas-Fay-Custer Unified District, which is ranked 23rd out of 295 districts in Oklahoma and has a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Among the three schools, Thomas Elementary School stands out as the top performer, consistently ranking among the best elementary schools in the state. The school's 3rd and 4th grade test scores in English Language Arts and Mathematics are significantly higher than the state averages, indicating strong academic performance. In contrast, the high school, Thomas-Fay-Custer Unified High School, has a much smaller enrollment of only 93 students, suggesting a need to investigate factors contributing to the declining enrollment at the high school level.
The schools in the district serve student populations with varying socioeconomic backgrounds, as evidenced by the differences in free and reduced lunch rates, which range from 44.09% at the high school to 60.77% at the elementary school. This diversity may present both challenges and opportunities for the district in terms of addressing the unique needs of students from different socioeconomic backgrounds. Overall, the data highlights the strengths of the Thomas-Fay-Custer Unified School District, particularly the exceptional performance of Thomas Elementary School, while also raising questions about the declining enrollment at the high school level and the need to address the diverse socioeconomic needs of the student population across the district.
