New London School District


Summary:

The New London School District in Connecticut serves a diverse student population across 8 schools, including 3 elementary, 2 middle, and 3 high schools. While the district as a whole struggles academically, with low test scores and rankings, a few standout schools stand out for their stronger performance.

Winthrop STEM Elementary Magnet School leads the district with the highest proficiency rates on standardized tests, particularly in ELA, and a low student-teacher ratio. The Science and Technology Magnet Pathway for Middle Grades and Science and Technology Magnet Pathway for High School Grades also demonstrate stronger academic performance compared to the district and state averages. In contrast, New London High School struggles, with low proficiency rates and a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students.

Overall, the data suggests that the magnet school model may be more effective in the New London School District, as these schools outperform the traditional public schools despite serving a similar student population. However, the district as a whole faces significant challenges, including high rates of economic disadvantage and low academic achievement, which will require a comprehensive approach to address and improve outcomes for all students.
