While most of the schools in this area perform well below state averages on standardized tests, with proficiency rates often 30-40 percentage points lower than the Connecticut average, two schools stand out as bright spots: Betances STEM Magnet School, a middle school with the highest performance on standardized tests in the data set, and Naylor/CCSU Leadership Academy, an elementary school that also has higher test scores than the other schools. These two schools suggest that targeted programs and approaches can lead to improved outcomes, even in a low-performing district.

The schools in this area serve a diverse student population, with Hispanic students making up the largest racial group, and all have high rates of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 77.1% to 86.2%, indicating that poverty is a major factor impacting the schools and their performance. The wide range in spending per student, from $15,589 to $18,882, may also suggest differences in funding and resources available to the schools, which could contribute to the performance gaps observed.
