Summary:
The city of Windham, Connecticut has only one school in the data set - Windham Center School, an elementary school serving grades K-5. The school appears to be facing significant challenges, as it has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Connecticut elementary schools in recent years, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Windham Center School has an enrollment of 205 students and is part of the Windham School District, which is ranked 142 out of 156 districts in the state with a 0-star rating. The school's academic performance is a concern, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics below state and district averages. Additionally, the school has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 17.7%, which may be contributing to its academic challenges.
Despite the relatively high per-student spending of $17,700 and a favorable student-teacher ratio of 10.2 to 1, Windham Center School is not performing well academically. The school's high rate of free/reduced lunch recipients (73.17%) suggests that it serves a population with significant socioeconomic challenges, which may be impacting student achievement. Addressing these issues, including targeted interventions in core academic areas and strategies to improve attendance, will likely be crucial for the school to improve its performance and better serve the needs of its students.
