Best Public Schools in Pomfret Center, CT

Summary:

Pomfret Center, Connecticut is home to a single standout elementary school, Pomfret Community School, which serves grades PK-8 and is part of the Pomfret School District. This school consistently outperforms state averages on standardized tests, with 70.5% of 4th graders, 58.1% of 6th graders, and 71.4% of 8th graders scoring proficient or better on the SBAC English Language Arts exam. In mathematics, 79.2% of 3rd graders and 77.3% of 4th graders scored proficient or better on the SBAC Mathematics exam, far exceeding state averages.

Pomfret Community School has maintained a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past three years, ranking in the top 20-25% of elementary schools in Connecticut. The school's relatively low percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (25.68%) suggests a relatively affluent student population, which may contribute to its strong academic performance. Additionally, the school spends a relatively high amount per student ($18,233 in 2018-2019), which likely enables it to invest in resources and programs to support student learning.

However, the school's racial makeup is predominantly White (93.51%), which is significantly higher than the state's overall racial diversity. This lack of diversity may be an area for the school and district to explore and address. Overall, Pomfret Community School stands out as a high-performing educational institution in the Pomfret Center area, providing a quality education to its students, but with room for improvement in terms of racial representation.
