GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

I don’t like the school they let racism slide and just tell you to ignore it rather than talk about racism and stopping it

I would give this school an 8 because they made me ready for high school and taught me new life lessons. They also helped me deal with whatever problems I had.

This school has consistently delivered students who improve instead of just "moving on". They deal with students from all levels and somehow make it work! All of my children have gone to Thompson, and I think it the best middle school in the district. Way to go Thompson!
