Summary:
The city of Baltic, Connecticut has only one school, Sayles School, which serves grades PK-8 and has a total enrollment of 284 students. Sayles School is part of the Sprague School District, which is ranked 148 out of 156 districts in Connecticut and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Sayles School faces significant challenges in terms of academic performance. The school's test scores are consistently lower than the state averages across all grade levels and subject areas, with only 25-31% of students proficient in English Language Arts and Mathematics. The school's chronic absenteeism rate is also relatively high at 17.7%, which could be a contributing factor to the low test scores. Additionally, over 56% of Sayles School's students receive free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high-need population that may require additional resources and support to improve educational outcomes.
Despite the school's higher-than-average spending per student of $13,781 and a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 12.3 to 1, these factors do not seem to be translating into better academic performance. The data suggests that Sayles School is facing significant challenges and may need targeted interventions and support to improve educational outcomes for its students.
