Summary:
Windham School District in Connecticut is home to a single high school, Windham High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. The school has consistently struggled academically, ranking in the bottom quartile of Connecticut high schools and receiving low ratings from SchoolDigger over the past several years.
Windham High School's student population is predominantly Hispanic, with 79.46% of students identifying as such, significantly higher than the state average. The school also has a lower percentage of White (14.05%) and Asian (0.3%) students compared to the state. Additionally, a staggering 76.13% of Windham High School students receive free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.
Academically, the school's performance is concerning, with only 10.7% of 11th-grade students proficient or better in NGSS/Science, compared to the state average of 46.9%. Despite the school's high per-student spending of $21,209 and a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 8.3 to 1, these resources do not appear to be translating into improved student outcomes. The consistently low performance and ranking of Windham High School suggest the need for a comprehensive review and improvement plan to address the root causes of the school's struggles and provide a high-quality education for all its students.
