Connecticut Technical Education and Career System

Summary:

The Connecticut Technical Education and Career System consists of 17 high schools that provide technical and career-focused education across different regions of the state. These schools serve a diverse student population, with varying levels of academic performance and socioeconomic backgrounds.

Among the standout schools in the system, Henry Abbott Technical High School ranks among the top 76 high schools in Connecticut and boasts the highest proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Science. Norwich Technical High School and Windham Technical High School also perform well, with impressive proficiency rates in Math and Science, respectively. However, the system as a whole underperforms the state averages in standardized test scores, with the Connecticut Technical Education and Career System ranking 144 out of 158 districts in the state.

The data reveals stark disparities in school performance, with some schools ranking among the top in the state while others are in the bottom 20%. This is likely correlated with the high rates of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, which range from 34.05% at Henry Abbott Technical High School to 67.64% at A.I. Prince Technical High School. These socioeconomic factors appear to have a significant impact on academic achievement, highlighting the need for targeted interventions and additional support for economically disadvantaged students across the Connecticut Technical Education and Career System.
