Summary:

The city of Thompson, North Dakota is home to a single high school, Thompson High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. This standout school has consistently ranked in the top 10-20% of high schools in the state, reaching as high as 4th out of 52 schools in 2016-2017, and is currently ranked 2nd out of 23 school districts in North Dakota with a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Thompson High School boasts an impressive 84.2% four-year graduation rate, well above the state average. The school's relatively low student-teacher ratio of 11.9 and higher-than-average spending per student of $9,195 suggest the district is effectively allocating resources to support student learning and success. However, with only 4.23% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, the school appears to serve a relatively affluent student population, which could be a factor in its high performance.

While Thompson 61 school district is a standout performer, there may be opportunities to further improve outcomes, such as increasing the graduation rate or exploring ways to better support economically disadvantaged students. Overall, the data indicates that Thompson High School is a strong-performing school that is effectively utilizing its resources to support student success.

IMPORTANT NOTE: North Dakota does not publish exact assessment percentages; instead, results are reported as ranges (e.g., 20-29%) to protect student privacy in smaller groups. The proficiency rates displayed on SchoolDigger are calculated using midpoint imputation—the center value of each reported range. Actual values may differ by up to 5 percentage points from the figures shown.

About North Dakota Assessment Data: To protect student privacy, the North Dakota Department of Public Instruction reports assessment results as percentage ranges rather than exact values. SchoolDigger calculates proficiency rates using midpoint imputation, which uses the center value of each reported range. For example, a reported range of 20-29% is represented as 24.5%. As a result, the proficiency rates shown may vary by approximately ±5 percentage points from actual values. This variance is most significant for individual grade/subject combinations and diminishes when data is aggregated across multiple grades or subjects.
