Summary:
Thomasville City is home to a single high school, Thomasville High School, which serves grades 9-12 with an enrollment of 305 students in a small Alabama community. This school operates within the Thomasville City district, which holds a 3-star rating and ranks 44th out of 139 districts statewide, though the high school itself has earned a 2-star rating in its most recent evaluation.
Academically, Thomasville High School trails state averages across all core subjects. In the 2025-2026 school year, math proficiency stood at 17.74% (compared to 27.21% statewide), science at 24.19% (versus 36.17%), and English at 27.12% (versus 33.73%). The school's performance has been notably volatile, swinging from the 37th percentile in 2023-2024 to the 57th percentile in 2024-2025, then dropping back to the 38th percentile in 2025-2026. The most dramatic change was an 8.72-point decline in science proficiency, while English improved by 3.07 points. Math remains the weakest subject, and the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 17.3% is significantly higher than the state average of 12.0%, which likely contributes to these academic struggles.
Despite these challenges, there are positive signs. The graduation rate of 91.3% nearly matches the state average of 91.5%, and with 61.64% of students receiving free or reduced lunch, the school serves a predominantly economically disadvantaged population while still maintaining strong persistence. Per-student spending is $11,563, and the student-teacher ratio is 20.4:1. The district's overall 3-star rating may be buoyed by performance in lower grades, masking the high school's 2-star status. For parents, the key takeaway is that Thomasville High School offers a supportive environment with a solid graduation rate, but families should be aware of the need for targeted support in math and science, as well as the importance of addressing attendance issues to help stabilize academic outcomes.
