Quinebaug Middle College, a high school, stands out for its low student-teacher ratio of 9.5, significantly lower than the other two schools.

The data also reveals some interesting insights about the schools in Danielson. The schools have a diverse student population, with a significant percentage of white, Hispanic, and students of two or more races. However, the test scores for the schools are generally lower than the state averages, particularly in mathematics. The schools with higher percentages of free and reduced lunch recipients, such as Killingly Memorial School and Quinebaug Middle College, tend to have lower test scores and rankings, highlighting the potential impact of socioeconomic factors on student achievement. Additionally, the variation in student-teacher ratios among the schools could be an important factor in their performance and the quality of education provided to students.
