Thompson Elementary

Summary:

Thompson Elementary is a public elementary school in Carrollton, Texas, serving 416 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Carrollton-Farmers Branch Independent School District (ISD), which is ranked 407 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Thompson Elementary has shown mixed academic performance compared to the district and state averages. While the school's 5th-grade proficiency rates in STAAR Reading, Mathematics, and Science were higher than the district and state averages, its 3rd-grade proficiency rates were generally lower. The school's performance on STAAR Spanish assessments was also lower than the district and state averages. Interestingly, Thompson Elementary's African American and White student subgroups have consistently outperformed the district and state averages on STAAR assessments, but the school's English Language Learner (ELL) and Special Education student subgroups have generally performed below the district and state averages.

Compared to nearby schools, Rosemeade Elementary has consistently outperformed Thompson Elementary on STAAR assessments and has a higher statewide ranking, with a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger. Similarly, McCoy Elementary has significantly outperformed Thompson Elementary and the district/state averages on STAAR assessments, particularly in mathematics and science, and has a 5-star rating. Thompson Elementary's high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, ranging from 67.29% to 73.08% over the past three school years, may contribute to its academic performance challenges, though the school's higher per-student spending compared to the district average suggests that the district is allocating additional resources to support its diverse student population.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
