Three Rivers Middle College Magnet School is a public high school serving grades 11-12 in Norwich, Connecticut, with a total enrollment of 79 students. The school has seen a shift in its racial makeup, with a decrease in White students and an increase in Hispanic students over the past few years.

Three Rivers Middle College Magnet School stands out for its strong academic performance, particularly in English Language Arts (ELA).

However, the school's math performance, with 34.3% of 11th-graders proficient or better in SAT/Math, is slightly lower than the district (36%) but still higher than the state average (29.5%). The school has also seen an improvement in its statewide ranking, moving from 108th out of 196 Connecticut high schools in 2014-2015 to 42nd out of 145 in 2023-2024, placing it in the top 30% of high schools in the state.

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.
