Summary:
The city of Derby, Connecticut is home to 4 schools serving grades K-12, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. While the Derby School District as a whole is ranked 148th out of 158 districts in the state and rated 0 out of 5 stars, a few standout schools emerge from the data.
Bradley School consistently outperforms the district and state averages on standardized tests, particularly in English Language Arts and Mathematics. The school has a higher percentage of white students and a lower percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch compared to the other schools in the district. In contrast, Derby Middle School has shown some improvement in its statewide ranking, but its performance on SBAC/Math tests lags behind the state average.
Across the district, there are challenges with overall academic performance, with all schools scoring well below state averages, particularly in mathematics. The high percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, coupled with the racial diversity of the student population, suggest potential equity concerns that warrant further investigation and targeted interventions to address the underlying issues.
