Ashford School District

Ashford School District in Connecticut consists of a single elementary school, Ashford School, which serves grades PK-8 with a total enrollment of 367 students. While the school has some academic strengths, such as higher-than-average test scores in certain grade levels and subjects, it also faces challenges, including uneven performance across grade levels and a relatively homogeneous student population.

Academically, Ashford School shows a mixed performance compared to the state average. In some areas, such as 3rd grade math and 6th grade ELA, the school's proficiency rates exceed the state average. However, in other subjects and grade levels, such as 5th grade math and 8th grade math, the school's scores lag behind the state. The school's spending per student is higher than the state average, and it has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, which may indicate a focus on resource allocation to support student learning.

Despite these investments, Ashford School's statewide ranking has declined in recent years, dropping from 242 out of 491 Connecticut elementary schools in 2022-2023 to 285 out of 497 in 2023-2024. This suggests that the school may face challenges in maintaining or improving its academic performance compared to other schools in the state. Additionally, the school's relatively homogeneous student population, with a large majority of white students, may indicate a lack of diversity within the school community.
