Elementary Schools in Regional School District 17

The three elementary schools in Regional School District 17 - Burr District Elementary School, Killingworth Elementary School, and Haddam-Killingworth Intermediate School - are consistently high-performing, with all three schools ranking among the top 25% of Connecticut elementary schools. These schools serve students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade in a predominantly white, affluent community.

Burr District Elementary School and Haddam-Killingworth Intermediate School stand out as the top-performing schools in the district, with 4-star ratings from SchoolDigger and exceptional academic proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science that exceed both district and state averages. These schools serve more economically advantaged student populations, with free and reduced lunch rates below 20%.

All three schools in Regional School District 17 benefit from significant resource allocation, with high spending per student and low student-teacher ratios. However, the district's student population lacks racial diversity, with white students comprising 89% to 92% of the enrollment. As the district continues to excel academically, it may consider ways to promote greater diversity and equity within its schools.
