In the two prior years, it ranked 16th and 5th statewide. The Easton School District itself is ranked 12th of 153 districts, and because there is only one middle school, the district's rank is entirely driven by this school's results. Across all grade levels and subjects, proficiency rates run 12 to 44 percentage points above state averages. For example, 8th-grade math proficiency is 86% versus 41.9% statewide, and 8th-grade science proficiency is 83% versus 50.9% statewide.
Attendance is strong, with district chronic absenteeism at just 5.8% compared to 16.4% statewide. The school also serves a relatively low-poverty population, with only 8% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, and it is well-resourced with a student-teacher ratio of 11.4 and per-student spending near $20,000. One notable trend is a 20-point jump in 8th-grade science proficiency between 2024–2025 and 2025–2026, while some other grade-level scores shifted modestly from year to year, likely reflecting different cohorts of students. Overall, Helen Keller Middle School is an elite Connecticut middle school with consistently high achievement, strong attendance, and a track record of top statewide rankings.
