Enfield School District

The Enfield School District in Connecticut consists of 8 schools, including 6 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. The district serves a diverse student population, with a majority of white students and significant representation from Hispanic and African American students. While the district as a whole is ranked 112th out of 158 districts in the state and rated 2 stars out of 5, some individual schools within the district stand out for their strong performance.

Enfield High School is a standout, ranking 64th out of 142 Connecticut high schools and earning a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school outperforms the district and state averages in science proficiency for 11th-grade students and maintains a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 11.9. Additionally, Hazardville Memorial School and Enfield Street School, both elementary schools, have consistently ranked in the top 200 out of 565 Connecticut elementary schools and maintained 3-4 star ratings over the years.

While the district as a whole faces challenges in terms of overall academic performance, the data reveals opportunities for improvement. The high rates of free and reduced-price lunch recipients across the schools suggest that the district may be serving a significant population of students from low-income families, raising questions about the district's ability to provide equitable educational opportunities. By closely examining the strengths and weaknesses of individual schools, the Enfield School District can develop targeted strategies to raise the academic achievement of all students and learn from the practices of its higher-performing schools.
