Summary:
The city of East Windsor, Connecticut is home to two public schools - Broad Brook Elementary School and East Windsor High School, both part of the East Windsor School District. While the schools share some similarities, such as relatively low student-teacher ratios, they also exhibit notable differences in their student demographics, academic performance, and economic factors.
Broad Brook Elementary School serves a diverse student population, with a racial makeup of 47.2% white, 21.96% Hispanic, and 11.45% Asian students. However, the school's academic performance on standardized tests lags behind the state average, with only around 40% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and Mathematics. In contrast, East Windsor High School has an even more diverse student body, with 49.03% white, 28.4% Hispanic, and 16.34% African American students. Yet, the high school's performance on the SAT Math test is significantly below the state average, with only 20.3% of students scoring proficient or better.
Economic disadvantage is a significant factor for both schools, with 44.16% of Broad Brook Elementary students and 56.81% of East Windsor High School students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. This disparity in economic status is reflected in the schools' spending per student, with the high school spending $26,150 per student compared to $19,323 per student at the elementary school. Despite the higher spending at the high school level, the academic outcomes for students in East Windsor remain a concern, suggesting that the district may need to focus on improving educational opportunities and support for its economically disadvantaged student population.
