Litchfield Intermediate School

Summary:

Litchfield Intermediate School is a public middle school serving grades 4-6 in the predominantly white and affluent town of Litchfield, Connecticut. With a student population of 189, the school consistently outperforms the state average in academic performance, with high proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics across all grade levels.

Litchfield Intermediate School's success can be attributed to several key factors. The school has a low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 9.8 to 11 students per teacher, which allows for a more personalized learning environment. Additionally, the school spends significantly more per student, with $21,479 and $22,465 spent per student in the 2018-2019 and 2017-2018 school years, respectively, compared to the state average. This investment in resources likely contributes to the school's strong academic performance.

However, the school's impressive academic achievements also highlight potential equity concerns. Litchfield Intermediate School's student body is predominantly white and economically advantaged, with only 19.58% to 21.13% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch over the past three school years. This is significantly lower than the state average, suggesting that the school's success may be partly attributed to the relative homogeneity and affluence of its student population. Nearby schools, such as Chippens Hill Middle School, Schaghticoke Middle School, and North End Middle School, serve more diverse and economically disadvantaged student populations and have significantly lower academic performance, highlighting the need for greater equity and access to high-quality education across the region.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
