Summary

Thomson Middle School is a public middle school located in Centerville, Georgia, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 717 students. The school is part of the Houston County School District, which is ranked 60 out of 206 districts in Georgia and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Thomson Middle School consistently performs above the Houston County and Georgia state averages in Milestones Assessment/Algebra I for End of Course, with proficiency rates ranging from 93.9% to 100% over the past few years. However, the school's performance in English Language Arts and Mathematics lags behind the county and state averages across various grade levels. In Science and Social Studies, the school's 8th-grade proficiency rates are mixed, sometimes higher and sometimes lower than the county and state averages. Interestingly, the school's academic performance is generally higher than the nearby Huntington Middle School and Northside Middle School, but it lags behind the higher-performing schools in the district, such as Bonaire Middle School and Feagin Mill Middle School.

One notable change at Thomson Middle School is the significant decrease in its free and reduced lunch rates, from 83.83% in 2022-2023 to 53% in 2023-2024. This shift in the school's demographic composition could impact its academic performance and resource allocation. The school's spending per student has remained relatively stable, ranging from $9,755 to $10,144 over the past few years, and the student-teacher ratio has been consistently around 13 students per teacher. Overall, Thomson Middle School is a solid performer within the Houston County district, but it faces competition from higher-performing schools in the area.

What people are saying

by a parent
Friday, September 16, 2011

Thomson Middle School has lacking resources, could use better skilled teachers, and peer pressure cooker for female children. Two of my children went there. My daughter's attitude and ways changed drastically as soon as she started in this school. She used to love academics and was a straight A "gifted" studend prior to attending this school. Her priorities have completely shifted to very unimportant things. She's still in the gifted program but i really don't know how since she no longer has any interest in academics.

After talking with several parents of girls who attend the school, I understand that it's a common problem for most girls that attend Thomson Middle.

Keep a close watch of your daughter and stay extra, extra involved. Otherwise you'll be at a very high risk of losing her to peer pressure. Close Quote
