Summary:

The Ellington School District in Connecticut is home to 5 schools, including 3 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. The district is known for its strong academic performance, with several standout schools that rank among the best in the state.

Ellington High School is a standout, consistently ranking among the top 30 high schools in Connecticut and earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school boasts impressive test scores, with 77.9% of 11th graders proficient or better in ELA and 50.6% in Math on the SAT. Windermere School and Center School are the top-performing elementary schools, ranking in the top 30% and top 20% of Connecticut elementary schools, respectively.

While the district as a whole is performing well, there is some variation in elementary school performance. Crystal Lake School lags slightly behind in certain metrics, particularly in 5th grade math. The district may want to investigate this further and implement strategies to ensure consistent performance across all its schools. Additionally, the district could focus on addressing its relatively high chronic absenteeism rate of 17.7%, which is on the higher end compared to state averages.
