2024-2025

DISTRICT PROFILE: The Thompson School District is one of the larger school districts in the state, serving approximately 14,500 students in 31 schools. Our district boundaries encompass multiple population centers, including Berthoud, Loveland, Johnstown, Windsor and Ft. Collins. The student population has been steady in the past few years, with a slight decline in enrollment and a increase in at-risk students (Special Education, MLL and Students Experiencing Poverty). As a district our Free & R… educed Lunch (FRL) rate has increased from 24.8% in 2022 to 33% in 2023 to 40.7% in 2024. The demographic composition of the district is: 40.7% FRL Eligible; 4.7% identified Multilingual Learners; 23.2% Hispanic, 69.5% White, 13.6% identified students with disabilities; 9.4% identified students gifted and talented. Minority students comprise 30.5% of enrollment. Our attendance rate from 2023-24 is 91.9%. Our mobility rate is 7.6%. TSD operates small schools as compared to other districts our size. The average size of our elementary schools is just under 250 students. There are two public charter schools operating within the district: Loveland Classical K-12 and New Vision Charter K-8. DEVELOPMENT OF THE DUIP: A variety of stakeholder groups participate in the development and monitoring of the District Unified Improvement Plan (DUIP), including the District Accountability and Advisory Committee (DAAC), Site-based School Accountability Committee (SAC) Chairs, the Learning Services Leadership. Team (district directors, coordinators and administrators), the Thompson Principal Advisory Committee (K-12 principal leaders), and the Family/Community Partnering Leadership Team. The DAC meets monthly to review current data releases, explore/verify root causes, provide input on improvement strategies, and monitor progress toward district goals/targets. Monthly, Learning Services Senior Leadership (LSSL) analyzes 3+ years of local and state data, disaggregated and organized by district-level, school-level, grade span, and student group, as part of the Comprehensive Needs Assessment. LSSL works collaboratively with district and school based staff to identify trends and root causes, and to develop strategies to address priorities and persistent gaps. Learning Services Senior Leadership meets regularly to update trends and root cause analysis, to verify Priority Performance Challenges, Root Causes, and Major Improvement Strategies, and monitor progress toward system goals. Quarterly, School Leadership Teams, in collaboration with families, identify/verify school-based trends, root causes, priorities, and improvement strategies aligned with the Learning Services Instructional Vision, The Thompson Portrait of a Graduate, and the Thompson Strategic Plan (Strive 2025). In September, 2024, input for the current DUIP was gathered and reviewed by a combined convening of DAC and site-based SAC chairs reviewed and provided additional input on elements of the proposed DUIP (i.e., Data trends, Priority Performance Challenges, Root Cause Analysis, and Major Improvement Strategies). Annual DAC recommendations are also incorporated into the DUIP. All stakeholder groups identified above meet monthly/quarterly to review current data releases, explore/verify root causes, provide input on improvement strategies, and monitor progress toward district goals/targets.
