Middle Schools in Guilford School District

The Guilford School District in Connecticut is home to two high-performing middle schools, E.C. Adams Middle School and A. Baldwin Middle School, both of which serve students in grades 6-8. These schools consistently demonstrate strong academic achievement, with student test scores significantly exceeding state averages in core subject areas.

E.C. Adams Middle School stands out as a particularly exceptional institution, ranking among the top 30 middle schools in Connecticut and earning a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger in two out of the last three school years. The school's student population is predominantly white (81.48%), with a relatively low percentage of students (14.61%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting a relatively affluent student population. A. Baldwin Middle School also performs well academically, with student test scores exceeding state averages in most subject areas, though it lacks the detailed ranking and rating information available for E.C. Adams Middle School.

Both schools demonstrate a strong commitment to academic excellence, with E.C. Adams Middle School standing out as a particularly exceptional institution within the Guilford School District and the state of Connecticut. The higher spending per student at E.C. Adams Middle School may be a contributing factor to its stronger academic performance, though further analysis would be needed to fully understand the relationship between funding and student outcomes. Overall, the data suggests that families in the Guilford area have access to high-quality middle school options that provide a strong educational foundation for their children.
