Summary:

Mohegan School is an elementary school in Shelton, Connecticut, serving students from pre-kindergarten to 4th grade as part of the Shelton School District. The school has consistently outperformed the district and state in academic assessments, but has seen a decline in student diversity in recent years.

Mohegan School stands out for its strong academic performance, with 3rd and 4th-grade students scoring significantly higher than the district and state averages on the SBAC tests for English Language Arts and Mathematics. The school also maintains a relatively low student-teacher ratio and has a lower percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch compared to nearby schools. However, the school's statewide ranking has declined over the years, suggesting that other schools in Connecticut may be improving at a faster rate. Additionally, Mohegan School's performance for specific student subgroups, such as female and white students, has been mixed, with some subgroups seeing declines in their rankings.

When compared to nearby schools in the Shelton, Monroe, and Trumbull districts, Mohegan School generally performs well academically, with higher SBAC test scores than many of its neighbors. However, some schools, such as Long Hill School and Booth Hill School, have outperformed Mohegan School in certain grade levels and subject areas.

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.
