Your District
Welcome to Thompson School District
Thompson School District is the 17th largest school district in Colorado, encompassing 362 square miles, and is the largest employer in Loveland and Berthoud. We are a pre-K through 12th grade district with 15 early childhood centers, one K-8 school, 18 elementary schools, five middle schools, five high schools and two charter schools. District enrollment is approximately 16,000 students. Our district consists of the entire city of Loveland, the town of Berthoud, sections of Fort Collins, Windsor and Johnstown and portions of unincorporated territory in Larimer, Weld and Boulder counties.
Our schools offer a number of educational options including: the International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma Programme (DP), Middle Years Programme (MYP) and Primary Years Programme (PYP); a Science, Technology, Engineering & Mathematics (STEM) focus at one high school, two middle schools and three elementary schools; the Loveland area Integrated School of the Arts (LISA), K-12; and Advanced Placement programs. We are also home to the Loveland/Berthoud Enrichment Access Program (LEAP), which supports parents who choose to school their children at home or outside a public setting. The district's assessment scores are consistently above state averages and the districtwide graduating class of 2018-2019 earned over $22.2 million in scholarships.
Thompson School District is led by a seven-member Board of Education, whose members are taxpayers, parents, business people, community residents and school volunteers. They all share a deep commitment to providing a sound education to all young people living in the district. The members of the Board are elected at-large from geographic areas for four year terms. They represent parents as well as residents without children in school. Board members serve without pay and contribute many hours each month to fulfilling their responsibilities.
