Summary

Thompson Elementary is a PK-5 public school in Carrollton, TX, serving 531 students within the Carrollton-Farmers Branch Independent School District (Isd). After a strong period from 2021-2023, the school has seen a notable decline in its state ranking, dropping from the 75th percentile to the 51st percentile in the most recent school year, which is a key concern for families.

The most significant challenge at Thompson is a persistent weakness in mathematics, where proficiency rates are consistently below both district and state averages across all tested grades. For example, only 29% of 3rd graders were proficient in math, compared to 44% statewide. In contrast, reading performance is generally at or above average, with 5th graders achieving 63% proficiency versus 58% statewide. This creates a clear "tale of two subjects" that suggests a need for targeted math support. The school also shows exceptional strength with specific student groups, ranking in the 96th percentile for African American students and the 93rd percentile for Gifted and Talented students, indicating that some programs are highly effective even as overall performance has dipped.

Thompson serves a high-poverty population, with over 74% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, and its per-student spending is in the middle of the pack compared to similar nearby schools. The school is part of a cluster of high-poverty schools in the area, including Furneaux Elementary, Blanton Elementary, Davis Elementary, and McKamy Elementary, all of which face similar challenges. This stands in stark contrast to nearby Rosemeade Elementary and McCoy Elementary, which serve more affluent populations and consistently rank in the 85th-98th percentile. While Thompson's overall ranking improved slightly in the latest year, math scores actually declined in 3rd and 4th grade, suggesting the core weakness remains unaddressed and that a sustained, strategic intervention is needed to return to its previous 4-star performance.
