Summary:

The Thatcher Unified District in Arizona has only one middle school, Thatcher Middle School, which serves grades 7-8 and has 301 students. Despite being the sole middle school in the district, Thatcher Middle School appears to be a relatively strong performer, outpacing the state average in several academic areas.

Thatcher Middle School is ranked 212 out of 552 Arizona middle schools for the 2024-2025 school year and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. In the 2024-2025 school year, the school outperformed both the Thatcher Unified District and the state of Arizona in science, English language arts, and mathematics proficiency for 7th and 8th graders. However, the school's dropout rate of 5.2% for the 2023-2024 school year is slightly higher than the state average, which could be an area for improvement.

With a student-teacher ratio of 16.2 and spending per student of $5,907, Thatcher Middle School appears to provide a quality education to its students, though the lower spending per student may impact the resources and support available. Without any other middle schools in the Thatcher Unified District to compare to, it's difficult to assess how the school performs relative to its peers within the district, but the available data suggests Thatcher Middle School is a solid performer in the region.
