Summary:
The city of Thompsonville, Illinois is home to two schools - Thompsonville Grade School, an elementary school, and Thompsonville High School. Both schools are part of the Thompsonville CUSD 174 district, which is ranked 691 out of 811 districts in Illinois and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating it is a low-performing district.
Based on the available data, neither Thompsonville Grade School nor Thompsonville High School appear to be standout performers. The elementary school is ranked 1406 out of 2056 Illinois elementary schools and has a 2-star rating, while the high school is ranked 510 out of 698 Illinois high schools and has a 1-star rating. Both schools have significant challenges, including low proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science, as well as high rates of chronic absenteeism at 25.4%.
The data also reveals that over 50% of students at both schools receive free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting a high level of economic disadvantage in the community. Despite the high student-teacher ratios, with 13.7 students per teacher at the elementary school and 7.9 students per teacher at the high school, the academic performance of the schools remains well below state averages. Addressing the issues facing the Thompsonville schools will likely require a comprehensive, district-wide approach to improve educational outcomes for the students.
