Summary:

Rockville High School is a public high school located in Vernon, Connecticut, serving 932 students in grades 9-12. The school is part of the Vernon School District, which is ranked 95 out of 158 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Rockville High School faces several challenges, including a diverse student population, lower academic performance compared to state and local standards, and a need to address disparities in subgroup performance. The school has a higher percentage of minority students (43.13%) and a relatively high percentage of students (47.96%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a higher proportion of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds. Academically, Rockville High School's performance, as measured by standardized test scores, is generally lower than the state average and many of the nearby high-performing schools, such as Somers High School, Bolton High School, and Tolland High School.

Rockville High School's statewide ranking has declined over the years, from 65th out of 121 Connecticut high schools in 2017-2018 to 77th out of 145 in 2023-2024. The school's performance data for different student subgroups reveals significant disparities, with its Hispanic students ranking 29th out of 63 Connecticut high schools, while its White students ranked 97th out of 116. Addressing these issues will require a comprehensive approach to improve the school's educational outcomes and provide equitable opportunities for all students.

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.
