Summary:
The city of Willimantic, Connecticut is home to 6 schools, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 3 high schools. The schools in this urban district serve a diverse student population, with a high percentage of Hispanic students and a significant number of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.
Among the standout schools in Willimantic is Windham Technical High School, which boasts the second-best student-teacher ratio in the Connecticut Technical Education and Career System School District and the highest proficiency rates in NGSS/Science compared to the district and state averages. Another notable school is W.B. Sweeney School, an elementary school with the lowest student-teacher ratio in the Windham School District and relatively strong performance in SBAC/Mathematics.
However, the data also reveals significant challenges faced by the schools in Willimantic. Proficiency rates in SBAC/English Language Arts and SBAC/Mathematics are generally low across the district, with Windham Middle School and the two elementary schools, Natchaug School and W.B. Sweeney School, performing particularly poorly. The high rates of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, coupled with the low academic performance, suggest potential equity issues that may need to be addressed within the Windham School District.
