Summary

North Windham School is an elementary school serving 430 students in grades K-5 within the Windham School District in Connecticut. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom quartile of Connecticut elementary schools, receiving 1 out of 5 stars from SchoolDigger for the past several years.

North Windham School faces significant challenges, including very high chronic absenteeism rates (ranging from 17.7% to 36.2%) and academic performance well below state and district averages, with only 24-40% of students proficient in English Language Arts and Math in 2024-2025, compared to 46.9-52.5% statewide. The school also has a very high percentage of students from low-income families, with 76.96-79.53% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. North Windham struggles to serve its diverse student population, ranking in the bottom quartile of Connecticut schools for female, male, Hispanic, special education, and low-income student performance.

In contrast, the other elementary schools in the Windham district, such as W.B. Sweeney, Windham Center, and Natchaug, perform significantly better than North Windham on key metrics. Additionally, the Charles H. Barrows STEM Academy, a public magnet school in the Windham district, vastly outperforms North Windham and the district as a whole on academic measures, highlighting the potential impact of specialized, high-quality educational programs.

One word: Terrible Close Quote

My child first year at this school and its very unorganized no lunch menus no schedules I drop off and pick up and the staff was telling me to wait here then some were else . The teacher is very nice and the assistant but it didn't seem like the teacher knew who her assistant was. No teachers in the classrooms in the morning waiting by the bus they should have the teachers assist helping the children off the bus. Close Quote
