Summary

Linden Street School is an elementary school located in Plainville, Connecticut, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 395 students. The school is part of the Plainville School District, which is ranked 88 out of 156 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Linden Street School's student performance on standardized tests, such as the SBAC, is generally below the state and district averages. The school also has relatively high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 13.6% to 21.8% over the past few years, which is higher than the state average. Additionally, Linden Street School has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 48.1% to 50.74% in recent years, indicating a higher proportion of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds. However, the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 10.4 to 12.2 in recent years, which is lower than the nearby Louis Toffolon School and Frank T. Wheeler School in the Plainville School District.

When comparing Linden Street School to other elementary schools in the Plainville district, it generally performs worse on standardized tests and has higher chronic absenteeism rates. However, the school's performance on standardized tests varies significantly among different student subgroups, with the school's ranking for special education and low-socioeconomic status students being in the top quarter of Connecticut elementary schools. Additionally, Linden Street School's per-student spending is relatively high compared to the state average, which could be a factor in its lower overall performance. By addressing the identified areas for improvement, such as overall student performance and chronic absenteeism, the school could potentially improve its ranking and better serve its diverse student population.
