Summary:
The city of Thomasville, Alabama is home to three public schools: Thomasville Elementary School, Thomasville High School, and Thomasville Middle School. These schools serve students from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade within the Thomasville City school district.
Among the three schools, Thomasville Middle School stands out as the highest-performing, ranking 86th out of 439 middle schools in the state and earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's students excel in English, outperforming the state average. Thomasville Elementary School has also shown consistent improvement, moving up in the state rankings, and its 3rd and 4th graders perform well in English compared to the state average.
However, the district as a whole faces some challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates across all three schools, which are above the state average. Additionally, the schools serve a predominantly low-income population, with 57-70% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. While Thomasville High School has a strong 90% four-year graduation rate, it also has a higher-than-average dropout rate of 5.8%. The district may need to address these issues to ensure all students in Thomasville receive a high-quality education.
