Summary:
The East Haddam School District in Connecticut is home to a single high school, Nathan Hale-Ray High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. This high school has maintained a consistent 3-star performance rating from SchoolDigger over the past few years, indicating a stable level of academic achievement.
Nathan Hale-Ray High School has shown steady improvement in its statewide ranking, moving from 67th out of 142 Connecticut high schools in 2022-2023 to 56th out of 141 in 2024-2025. The school's performance in SAT/English Language Arts is notably higher than the state average, with 65.5% of 11th-grade students proficient or better in 2024-2025, compared to the district average of 64.4% and the state average of 58%. However, the school's performance in SAT/Math is closer to the state average, with 32.8% of 11th-grade students proficient or better in the same year, compared to the district average of 32.2% and the state average of 31.1%.
The school's student population of 264 students and a student-to-teacher ratio of 8:1 suggest a relatively small and well-resourced learning environment. The school's per-student spending of $22,442 for the 2018-2019 school year indicates a significant investment in the education of its students, which may contribute to the school's academic performance. Additionally, the school's relatively low free and reduced-price lunch rate of 27.65% suggests a relatively affluent student population, which may also be a factor in the school's academic achievements.
