Thompson School District announced today that it further increased its four-year graduation rate this past academic year, with an official rate of 90.9%. A total of 1,175 students graduated from the district in the 2024-25 school year. The four-year graduation rate increased 0.9% from the previous 2023-2024 school year. Over the past eight years, the district’s graduation rate has increased from 80% to 90.9%.
In addition, Thompson School District’s dropout rate decreased to 1% for the 2024-25 academic year from a total of 1.3% for the 2023-24 school year.
The statistics were released on January 13 as part of the State of Colorado’s announcement of statewide student graduation and dropout data. Overall, the state’s four-year graduation rate increased by 1.4 percentage points to 85.6% — the highest in more than a decade. The dropout rate also improved, declining by 0.3 percentage points to 1.6%, which is the state’s lowest rate in more than 10 years.
“This growth in our graduation rate and the continued decline in our dropout rate reflect the collective commitment and hard work of our students, families and staff,” said Dr. Bret Heller, Thompson School District Superintendent. “We are proud of this momentum and remain focused on helping each student throughout their journey as they acquire the knowledge and skills that they will need to succeed.”
