Thompson School District R2-J (TSD) is the 16th largest school district in Colorado based on pupil headcount, with approximately 14,072 students from pre-kindergarten to 12th grade (2023-24). District boundaries include portions of 3 counties in northern Colorado (Larimer, Weld, Boulder) and 5 cities/towns (Loveland, Berthoud, Windsor, Fort Collins, Johnstown). Students and families are served by 15 Early Childhood locations, 16 elementary schools, 3 K-8 schools, 4 middle schools, 5 high schools, 1 vocational career campus and 2 charter schools. Enrollment and per-pupil revenue from the charter schools is reflected in the District's overall figures, as are the expenditures resulting from the transfer of funds to the charters as required by state statute. Information provided here can be very informative but should be considered with caution when making comparisons between schools and districts. Differences can and do exist from the standpoint of programs offered, student demographics, presence (or lack) of voter-approved funding initiatives, recording of centralized versus site-specific costs, staff tenure, age of facilities, economies of scale, and other unique characteristics of a school or district. The District's reports include all expenditures and revenues as required by Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) as defined by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB). The District's budget, Annual Comprehensive Financial Report (including audited financial statements and Management Discussion and Analysis), and various other financial resources are located at the District website (www.tsd.org) under the Financial Transparency section. Those reports should be reviewed in conjunction with the use of this comparative website in order to provide a more robust, thorough and realistic view of total and per-pupil spending across schools and districts. Please visit the TSD website to learn more or contact the TSD Business Services Department with any questions you may have regarding this data.
