Summary

J C Thompson Elementary in Haslet, TX, serves 726 students in grades PK-5 as part of the highly-rated Northwest Independent School District (Isd), but it currently stands out as a significant underperformer within this strong district.

This school presents a challenging picture for parents. Over the past five years, its state ranking has dropped sharply from the 55th percentile to the 21st percentile, earning a 1-star rating. This is a stark contrast to nearby schools like Haslet Elementary (2.15 miles away) and Carl E Schluter Elementary (3.79 miles away), both of which are 4-star schools ranking in the top 25% of Texas. The most critical weakness is in mathematics, where proficiency rates are alarmingly low—for example, only 25.83% of 5th graders were proficient in math, compared to 49.43% in the district and 47.38% statewide. The school also struggles significantly with its students from low socio-economic backgrounds, ranking in the 7th percentile statewide for serving this group. Notably, per-student spending is in line with higher-performing peers, suggesting the issue is not a lack of funding but how resources are used.

There is one bright spot: the school excels with its Gifted and Talented (GT) students, ranking in the 67th percentile statewide. This creates a "tale of two schools" where the GT program thrives while the general education program and support for struggling students appear under-resourced. For parents considering this school, the key takeaway is that while it has a successful program for high-achieving students, it faces serious challenges in core instruction, particularly in math, and in supporting its most vulnerable learners. The school must look to its high-performing neighbors for best practices to reverse its downward trend.
