Summary:
The city of Willington, Connecticut is home to two schools: Center School, an elementary school, and Hall Memorial School, a middle school. While the Willington School District as a whole has room for improvement, with a ranking of 77 out of 151 districts in the state, the schools in Willington have some notable strengths.
Center School stands out for its relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, at 45.05%, which is higher than the state average. Meanwhile, Hall Memorial School excels in its academic performance, with 6th and 8th-grade English Language Arts proficiency rates exceeding the state average, and 6th and 8th-grade Math proficiency rates also above the state average. Both schools benefit from low student-teacher ratios, with Center School at 10.7 and Hall Memorial School at 7.6, which is below the state average.
While the racial makeup of the schools is not fully representative of the state's diversity, with both schools having a significantly higher percentage of white students compared to the state average, the data suggests that Willington's schools have some areas of strength, particularly at the middle school level. However, the district as a whole may have room for improvement, with fluctuations in the schools' statewide rankings over the past few years. The higher spending per student at Hall Memorial School compared to Center School may contribute to the stronger academic performance at the middle school level.
