Middletown School District

The Middletown School District in Connecticut consists of 10 schools, including 8 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school, serving students from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade. While the district as a whole is ranked 125 out of 158 school districts in the state and rated 1 star out of 5 by SchoolDigger, a few standout schools within the district are performing better than others.

Moody School, an elementary school, ranks 131 out of 497 Connecticut elementary schools and is rated 4 out of 5 stars. It has significantly higher proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math compared to the district and state averages. Similarly, Snow School and Wesley School, both elementary schools, also perform better than the district and state in English Language Arts and Math proficiency. In contrast, Middletown High School and Beman Middle School have lower proficiency rates in various subjects compared to state averages.

The data also reveals significant disparities in academic performance and other metrics across the schools in the Middletown School District. Schools with higher free/reduced lunch rates, such as Bielefield, Spencer, and MacDonough, tend to have lower academic proficiency rates, suggesting a strong correlation between socioeconomic status and student achievement. The wide range in performance and resource allocation across the district raises concerns about equity and the ability to provide a consistent, high-quality education to all students.
