Colchester School District

The Colchester School District in Connecticut is home to 4 schools, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. The district is known for its strong academic performance, with several standout schools that consistently outperform state averages on various assessments.

The Bacon Academy high school is a standout, ranking 33rd out of 142 Connecticut high schools and earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school excels in SAT/ELA, SAT/Math, and NGSS/Science, with proficiency rates well above the state average. Meanwhile, the William J. Johnston Middle School is another top performer, ranking 41st out of 249 Connecticut middle schools and outperforming the state in SBAC/ELA, SBAC/Math, and NGSS/Science assessments.

Across the district, the schools have relatively low percentages of free and reduced lunch recipients, ranging from 21.17% at Jack Jackter Intermediate School to 26.64% at Bacon Academy. The district also spends more per student than the state average, and the schools have favorable student-teacher ratios. However, the district's student population is predominantly white, which may indicate a lack of racial diversity that could be an area for the district to address.
