Summary:
The city of New London, Connecticut is home to 10 schools, including 4 elementary schools, 3 middle schools, and 3 high schools, with a mix of traditional public schools and public magnet schools. The data reveals significant disparities in academic performance across the district, with some standout schools like the Interdistrict School For Arts And Communication and the Science and Technology Magnet Pathway for High School Grades outperforming the district and state averages, while others struggle with lower test scores and higher rates of economic disadvantage.
The data suggests that the public magnet schools in New London, such as the Interdistrict School For Arts And Communication and the Science and Technology Magnet Pathway schools, are providing additional resources and opportunities that are benefiting the students and leading to better academic outcomes. However, the district as a whole faces significant socioeconomic challenges, with high rates of free/reduced lunch recipients across the schools, indicating a population with significant economic disadvantages that likely contribute to the overall lower academic performance compared to the state averages.
Despite the challenges, the data also reveals some bright spots, such as the Interdistrict School For Arts And Communication and the Science and Technology Magnet Pathway schools, which are performing better than the district and state averages. This suggests that there may be opportunities to learn from these successful schools and implement strategies to improve performance across the New London School District and the Learn and Interdistrict School for Arts and Community District.
