Summary:

The Connecticut Technical Education and Career System consists of 17 high schools serving grades 9-12, with a total enrollment of 11,654 students. The district as a whole is ranked 144 out of 156 districts in Connecticut and is rated 0 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

Within the district, a few schools stand out. Norwich Technical High School ranks 80th out of 141 Connecticut high schools and has a 3-star rating, with the highest proficiency rates in the district for SAT English Language Arts, SAT Math, and NGSS Science. Henry Abbott Technical High School and Ella T. Grasso Technical High School also perform relatively well, ranking 79th and 86th respectively and having the second and third-highest proficiency rates in the district.

However, the district as a whole struggles, with all schools rated 0-3 stars by SchoolDigger. The high chronic absenteeism rate of 17.7% across all schools is a concern, and the wide range of free/reduced lunch recipients, from 36.13% to 69.42%, suggests these schools serve economically disadvantaged populations. While the student-teacher ratios are relatively low, the academic performance, as measured by test scores, is generally below the state average, with a few exceptions like Norwich Technical High School.
