High Schools in Thompson School District R-2j

Summary:

The Thompson School District R-2j in Colorado is home to 5 high schools, including Loveland High School, Mountain View High School, Thompson Valley High School, Berthoud High School, and Harold Ferguson High School. These schools serve students in grades 9-12 and provide a range of educational opportunities within the district.

Among the high schools in the district, Berthoud High School stands out as the top performer. It is ranked 81st out of 328 Colorado high schools and has the highest test scores across the board, with significantly more students scoring proficient or better on standardized assessments compared to the district and state averages. Berthoud High School also has the lowest percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at 23.21%, as well as a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 19.4.

While the district as a whole performs above the state average on metrics like graduation and dropout rates, there is still room for improvement, especially for lower-performing schools like Mountain View High School. Addressing the high chronic absenteeism rates, which are around 27.7% across all 5 schools, could be a key focus area for the district to support student learning and achievement.
