Summary

Regan School is an elementary school in Waterbury, Connecticut, serving 247 students in grades PK-5. While the Waterbury School District is ranked 149 out of 156 districts in the state, Regan School consistently outperforms the district in academic proficiency, particularly in mathematics. For example, in 2024-2025, 59.2% of 3rd-grade students at Regan School were proficient or better in SBAC Mathematics, compared to 28.1% for the district.

Regan School also performs exceptionally well in serving certain student subgroups. In 2024-2025, the school ranked 34th out of 132 Connecticut elementary schools for Hispanic students in English Language Arts, and in 2020-2021, it ranked 109th out of 371 schools for special education students and 62nd out of 302 schools for students of low socioeconomic status in mathematics. However, the school faces challenges, including high rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 8.1% to 31.2% in recent years, and a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 59.32% to 77.33% in recent years.

While Regan School outperforms the Waterbury School District in many academic areas, it still lags behind some of the higher-performing nearby schools, such as Wakelee School in the Wolcott School District, which consistently ranks in the top third of Connecticut elementary schools. Addressing the underlying causes of chronic absenteeism and providing additional resources to support the school's economically disadvantaged student population could be key focus areas for improvement efforts.
