What Parents Should Know
At 195 students, Tomlinson Middle School is on the smaller side. That usually buys more individual attention and teachers who know every kid by name, with the trade-off of fewer electives and extracurriculars than a larger school can staff. Ask what activities it actually offers.
65% of students at Tomlinson Middle School were chronically absent in the 2022-23 school year, above the national average.
