Plainfield School District

The Plainfield School District in Connecticut consists of 5 schools, including 3 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. The data reveals that Plainfield Memorial School stands out as the highest-performing school in the district, with the strongest proficiency rates in SBAC English Language Arts, SBAC Mathematics, and NGSS Science among the elementary schools. In contrast, Plainfield High School lags behind the state averages in SAT English Language Arts and SAT Math proficiency.

The district as a whole appears to be underperforming compared to state averages, with most schools having lower proficiency rates in core academic subjects. This may be partly due to the relatively high free/reduced lunch rates across the district, ranging from 49.16% at Plainfield High School to 64.33% at Shepard Hill Elementary School, suggesting significant socioeconomic challenges that can impact academic performance.

The data also reveals variations in resource allocation, with spending per student ranging from $13,587 at Shepard Hill Elementary School to $17,316 at Plainfield High School, and student-teacher ratios varying from 9.2 at Plainfield High School to 13.1 at Moosup Elementary School. These differences may indicate a need for a closer examination of resource distribution and targeted interventions to address the performance gaps observed across the Plainfield School District.
