Middle Schools in Killingly School District

The Killingly School District in Connecticut has only one middle school, Killingly Intermediate School, which serves grades 5-8. The school faces some academic and resource challenges, with declining proficiency rates and a lower statewide ranking compared to previous years. However, the school's high percentage of economically disadvantaged students may be a contributing factor to these challenges.

Killingly Intermediate School has a diverse student population, with 77.21% White, 2.1% African American, 11.84% Hispanic, and other minority groups represented. The school's proficiency rates on state assessments are generally lower than the state averages, except for 6th-grade English Language Arts. The school's statewide ranking has declined from 122nd out of 250 Connecticut middle schools in 2021-2022 to 153rd out of 250 in the current school year, and its SchoolDigger rating has decreased from 3 stars to 2 stars.

Despite these challenges, Killingly Intermediate School has a relatively favorable student-teacher ratio of 11.3, and its per-student spending is higher than the state average. Further investigation into the underlying factors contributing to the school's declining performance and the broader context of the Killingly School District could provide valuable insights and potential solutions to help the school improve its academic outcomes and support its economically disadvantaged student population.
