Answer

I have always thought you were an excellent student.
I have always thought you were an excellent student since the beginning.

Answer

When you use "thought" it makes it seem like something has made you change your opinion at this point in time.

If you said:
"I always knew you were an excellent student." 
Then you are saying it is a fact that they were (in the past) and are (in the present) an excellent student.

By changing thought to knew you are stating a fact rather than questioning it suddenly.
