C B Thompson Middle

Tucked into the small-town fabric of Quinlan, about an hour east of Dallas in Hunt County, C.B. Thompson Middle serves a tight-knit rural community where neighbors tend to know each other by name. Science is a relative bright spot here, but families considering the school should be aware that English and math scores lag behind much of the state, making it a school where involved parents and outside academic support can make a real difference. It's a good fit for families rooted in the area who value community connection and are prepared to take an active role in their child's middle school journey.
