Summary

Thompson Intermediate in Houston, TX, serves 835 students in 7th and 8th grade and is part of the Pasadena Independent School District (Isd), a district with a 2-star rating. The school has a high percentage of students from low socio-economic backgrounds, with 65.63% receiving free or reduced lunch in the 2024-2025 school year.

Thompson's most notable strength is its exceptional performance in advanced mathematics. An impressive 95.83% of students taking the Algebra I End-of-Course exam were proficient, far exceeding the district average of 61.77% and the state average of 54.03%. This has been a consistent trend for the last four years. However, this success contrasts sharply with grade-level math performance, where only 15.6% of 7th graders and 49.2% of 8th graders were proficient. This suggests a highly effective program for advanced math students, while the majority of students struggle with standard benchmarks. The school also shows strong support for English Language Learners, ranking in the 82nd percentile statewide. Additionally, Thompson maintains an exceptionally low dropout rate of just 0.1%, compared to the district average of 1.3%.

When compared to nearby schools, the differences are stark. Pearland J H West, just 1.85 miles away in the highly-ranked Pearland Independent School District (Isd) (5-star district), ranks in the 90th percentile and has a much lower free/reduced lunch rate of 34.54%. Within its own district, Beverly Hills Intermediate (2.58 miles away) has a higher percentage of low-income students (79.68%) but has outperformed Thompson in overall rank for the last three years. Interestingly, students entering Thompson from Melillo Middle (0.47 miles away) have a solid academic foundation, but Thompson's 7th-grade math scores represent a dramatic drop-off, indicating a potential challenge in the transition to middle school math.
