Thompson Intermediate

Summary:

Thompson Intermediate is a public middle school in Houston, Texas, serving 881 students in grades 7-8 and part of the Pasadena Independent School District (ISD), which is ranked 562 out of 968 districts in the state.

While Thompson Intermediate's overall academic performance is generally lower than state and district averages, the school stands out in a few key areas. Its students excel in Algebra I end-of-course (EOC) exams, with 95.92% scoring proficient or better, significantly higher than the district (54.26%) and state (44.73%) averages. The school also performs well for its special education students, ranking in the top 25% of Texas middle schools in this category for the past two years. However, the school's statewide ranking has declined over the years, and its high percentage of economically disadvantaged students (75.03%) presents a significant challenge.

Compared to nearby middle schools, Fred Roberts Middle and Melillo Middle appear to have stronger overall academic performance, with higher proficiency rates in reading and mathematics across grade levels. Nevertheless, Thompson Intermediate's strengths in Algebra I and special education suggest the school may have effective strategies in certain areas that could be leveraged to improve its overall academic 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.
