Summary:
The Thompson School District in Connecticut has only one middle school, Thompson Middle School, which serves grades 5-8 with a total enrollment of 270 students. While the school's statewide ranking has declined over the past three years, from 167th out of 249 Connecticut middle schools in 2022-2023 to 138th out of 252 in 2024-2025, it is currently rated 2 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger.
Academically, Thompson Middle School's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (ELA) are above the state average in 5th, 6th, and 8th grades, but below average in 7th grade. In Mathematics, the school's proficiency rates are below the state average in 6th and 7th grades. The school has a relatively high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (46.3%), indicating a higher proportion of economically disadvantaged students. Despite these challenges, the school's per-student spending for the 2018-2019 school year was $17,634, which is higher than the state average, and the student-teacher ratio is 11.7, which is lower than the state average.
Overall, the analysis of Thompson Middle School's data suggests that the school is facing some challenges, particularly in terms of its declining statewide ranking and variable academic performance. Further investigation into the factors contributing to these trends, as well as strategies to address the needs of the school's economically disadvantaged student population, could be beneficial.
