Summary:
The city of Deep River, Connecticut is home to three schools that serve students from elementary through high school: Deep River Elementary School, John Winthrop Middle School, and Valley Regional High School. These schools fall under the jurisdiction of the Regional School District 04 and the Deep River School District.
Among the three schools, Deep River Elementary School stands out as the top performer, consistently ranking among the best elementary schools in Connecticut and significantly outperforming the state and district averages on standardized tests. The school's test scores in English Language Arts and Mathematics are notably higher than the state's, with proficiency rates often 20-30 percentage points above the state average.
While Valley Regional High School also performs well, with test scores above the state average, its statewide ranking has declined in recent years. In contrast, John Winthrop Middle School performs at or slightly above the state average on assessments, but its statewide ranking has also dropped in recent years. The spending per student varies greatly across the schools, with the middle school spending significantly more per student than the high school, an area that may warrant further investigation.
