Middle Schools in Griswold School District

Griswold School District in Connecticut has only one middle school, Griswold Middle School, which serves grades 6-8. While the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, its academic performance is generally below the state average, with inconsistent test scores across grade levels and subject areas. The school's high percentage of economically disadvantaged students (51.8%) may contribute to these challenges, and the Griswold School District as a whole is ranked 129th out of 158 districts in the state, with a low 1-out-of-5-star rating.

Griswold Middle School's student population is diverse, with 75.48% White, 12.05% Hispanic, and smaller percentages of other racial/ethnic groups. However, the school's academic performance, as measured by SBAC and NGSS test scores, is generally below the state average in both English Language Arts and Mathematics, with proficiency rates ranging from 32.5% to 60% in ELA and 32.5% to 41.3% in Mathematics, compared to state averages of 48.1% to 51.4% in ELA and 38.2% to 43.1% in Mathematics.

The school's statewide ranking has fluctuated in recent years, ranging from 116th out of 249 Connecticut middle schools in 2022-2023 to 136th out of 250 in 2021-2022. Its SchoolDigger rating has also varied, with 3 out of 5 stars in 2023-2024 and 2022-2023, and 2 out of 5 stars in 2021-2022. These inconsistencies, along with the district's low ranking and rating, suggest that Griswold Middle School and the Griswold School District as a whole may need to implement strategies and interventions to improve student outcomes and overall school quality.
