Middle Schools in Groton School District

The Groton School District in Connecticut has only one middle school, Groton Middle School, which serves students in grades 6-8. The school has an enrollment of 907 students and a diverse student population, with 48.62% White, 7.28% African American, 24.81% Hispanic, 5.18% Asian, and 12.57% two or more races. However, the school's academic performance is a concern, as its proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science are consistently lower than the state averages for Connecticut.

Groton Middle School's academic performance has declined over the past three school years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 111 out of 250 Connecticut middle schools in 2021-2022 to 138 out of 250 in 2023-2024. This suggests that the school may be struggling to meet the academic needs of its students. Additionally, the high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (47.3%) indicates that the school serves a population with significant socioeconomic challenges, which may be a contributing factor to the school's academic underperformance.

Despite the school's diversity, the data shows that Groton Middle School needs to address the academic needs of its students, particularly in the areas of English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. The school's declining statewide ranking and underperformance compared to state averages are concerning and warrant further investigation and targeted interventions to improve the academic outcomes for the students at Groton Middle School.
