High Schools in Naugatuck School District

The Naugatuck School District in Connecticut is home to a single high school, Naugatuck High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. While the school has a diverse student population, it has consistently underperformed academically compared to the state average, ranking in the bottom half of Connecticut high schools.

Naugatuck High School's academic performance is a concern, with only 41% of 11th-grade students proficient or better in SAT/English Language Arts, compared to the state average of 54.8%. In SAT/Math, the school's performance is even lower, with only 15.5% of 11th-grade students proficient or better, compared to the state average of 29.5%. The school's science performance, as measured by the NGSS/Science assessment, is also below the state average, with 34.3% of 11th-grade students proficient or better, compared to the state average of 46.7%.

Despite the school's higher per-student spending of $17,378 (above the state average) and a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 14:1, the academic challenges persist. This suggests that the school may need to re-evaluate its resource allocation and implement targeted interventions to address the needs of its diverse student population, particularly the high percentage (52.48%) of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a significant population of economically disadvantaged students. Addressing these challenges could be crucial in driving positive change and ensuring that all students at Naugatuck High School have access to a quality education.
