Academy of International Studies 6-12

Public, Magnet Grades 6-12

Summary

The Academy of International Studies 6-12 is a public magnet high school located in Bloomfield, Connecticut, serving grades 6-12 with a student population of 688. The school is part of the Capitol Region Education Council district, which is ranked 145 out of 156 districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

The school faces significant challenges in academic performance, with standardized test scores significantly lower than state and district averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2024-2025, only 14.7% of 6th graders were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to the state average of 50% and the district average of 27.5%. The school's performance on the SAT is also concerning, with only 12.3% of 11th graders scoring proficient or better in Math in 2022-2023, compared to the state average of 34.1% and the district average of 13.8%. Additionally, the school's four-year graduation rate has been declining, from 96.7% in 2022-2023 to 88.4% in 2022-2023, and it has a high chronic absenteeism rate, ranging from 17.7% to 33.5% in recent years.

While the school's funding and resources appear to be adequate, with a relatively low student-teacher ratio, its performance lags behind nearby magnet schools, such as the Academy of Aerospace and Engineering and the University High School of Science and Engineering, which have higher academic performance, graduation rates, and lower chronic absenteeism. However, the school does perform better than some of the nearby traditional public high schools, such as Bulkeley High School and Weaver High School, which have even lower academic performance and higher chronic absenteeism rates.
