Summary:
The city of Willimantic, Connecticut is home to 6 schools, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 3 high schools (1 technical high school and 1 magnet school). The schools in this district serve a diverse student population, with a high percentage of Hispanic students and a relatively low percentage of white students. Overall, the Willimantic schools are underperforming compared to the state average, with lower test scores and high rates of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.
However, there are a few standout schools in the district. Windham Technical High School performs relatively well, with a higher percentage of students proficient in science compared to the district and state. Additionally, the Arts at the Capitol Theater Magnet School (ACT) 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.
The data suggests that the Windham School District, which encompasses most of the schools in the data set, is underperforming compared to other districts in the state. This, coupled with the high rates of economic disadvantage and potential racial disparities in educational outcomes, indicates that the Willimantic schools face significant challenges. However, the presence of stronger-performing schools, such as Windham Technical High School and the Arts at the Capitol Theater Magnet School, suggests that there may be opportunities to learn from these schools and apply successful strategies to improve the overall quality of education in the district.
