Summary:
Integrated Day Charter School District is a single-school district in Norwich, Connecticut, serving 364 students in Pre-K through 8th grade at Integrated Day Charter School. Because the district contains only one school, district-level data mirrors the school-level data, making this a unique case where the district's ranking (112th out of 153 districts) directly reflects the performance of its single campus.
The school shows clear strengths in middle-grade English Language Arts and attendance. In 7th grade ELA (2025-2026), 67.4% of students were proficient compared to 52.2% statewide, and 8th grade ELA (2024-2025) reached 69.0% proficiency versus 50.7% statewide. Chronic absenteeism stands at just 10.7% versus 16.4% statewide. However, mathematics remains the school's biggest challenge, with proficiency rates trailing state averages by double digits in most grades — for example, 3rd grade math (2024-2025) was 26.5% proficient versus 52.2% statewide.
The school's statewide ranking has slipped over three years, from 272nd (45th percentile) in 2023-2024 to 323rd (34th percentile) in 2025-2026, despite maintaining a 2-star rating. Large year-to-year swings in test scores, such as 3rd grade ELA jumping from 29.4% to 46.9% and 8th grade ELA falling from 69.0% to 47.7%, suggest cohort effects common in small schools. With a 14:1 student-teacher ratio, per-student spending of $11,951, and a free/reduced lunch rate of 52.75%, Integrated Day Charter School demonstrates that strong attendance and effective literacy instruction are achievable, even while math intervention remains the clearest priority.
