Thompson High School has consistently ranked among the top 71-56 high schools in Alabama over the past 3 years, earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While the schools in this zip code generally outperform state averages on standardized assessments, they also face some challenges. All 4 schools have a chronic absenteeism rate of 14.8%, which is on the higher end compared to state and national averages. Additionally, the schools serve a relatively high proportion of economically disadvantaged students, with free/reduced lunch rates ranging from 50-55%. The district will need to continue monitoring areas like attendance and supporting economically disadvantaged students to ensure equitable outcomes for all.
