Summary:
The Vernon School District in Connecticut is home to a single high school, Rockville High School, which serves grades 9-12. While the school has a diverse student population, with a significant representation of minority groups, it faces academic challenges as evidenced by its lower-than-average proficiency rates on standardized tests compared to the state average.
Rockville High School has an enrollment of 932 students, with a racial makeup of 56.87% White, 10.94% African American, 19.42% Hispanic, 5.9% Asian, and 6.55% two or more races. The school has a relatively high percentage of students (47.96%) eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a significant population of economically disadvantaged students. In the 2023-2024 school year, the school's proficiency rates on the SAT/English Language Arts (49.4%) and SAT/Math (20.4%) were lower than the state averages of 54.8% and 29.5%, respectively. The school's performance on the NGSS/Science assessment for 11th grade was also slightly lower than the state average.
Despite its academic challenges, Rockville High School has access to adequate resources, with a per-student spending of $18,396 for the 2018-2019 school year and a student-teacher ratio of 11.1 to 1 for the 2022-2023 school year. However, the school's consistent 2-star rating from SchoolDigger over the past few years suggests that these resources may not be effectively utilized to improve student outcomes. Overall, Rockville High School faces a unique set of challenges in providing quality education to its diverse student population, and the district may need to explore ways to better support the school's academic performance.
