Summary:
The Interdistrict School for Arts and Community District in Connecticut contains only one school, Interdistrict School For Arts And Communication, which serves middle school students. This school faces several challenges, including academic underperformance, high rates of chronic absenteeism, and serving a population with significant socioeconomic needs.
Interdistrict School For Arts And Communication has been ranked between 141st and 166th out of 249-252 Connecticut middle schools in the past three school years, with a 2-star rating out of 5 from SchoolDigger. The school's proficiency rates in SBAC English Language Arts and Mathematics are generally below the state average, with 6th-8th grade proficiency rates ranging from 27.2% to 52.6% in 2024-2025. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, at 70.97% in 2023-2024, and a chronic absenteeism rate of 17.7% in the same school year.
Despite these challenges, the school appears to be allocating resources to provide additional support and attention to its students, as evidenced by the relatively low student-teacher ratio of 11.6 and the higher per-student spending of $13,271 for the 2018-2019 school year. However, these efforts have not yet translated into improved academic outcomes for the students at Interdistrict School For Arts And Communication.
