Summary:

The Griswold School District in Connecticut consists of 4 schools, including 1 elementary school, 1 middle school, and 2 high schools. The district as a whole is ranked 124th out of 156 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating there is room for improvement in the overall educational outcomes.

Within the district, Griswold Middle School stands out as the strongest performer, with a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger and relatively strong test scores, particularly in 8th-grade English Language Arts proficiency. In contrast, Griswold Elementary School and the two high schools, Griswold High School and Griswold Soule Street Academy, lag behind the middle school in performance.

One notable finding is the extremely high per-student spending of $303,964 at the small Griswold Soule Street Academy, which is significantly higher than the other schools in the district. This suggests the school may be providing specialized or targeted services to its students. Additionally, all schools in the district have high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 17.7% to 17.7%, which is an area of concern that the district should address to improve overall educational outcomes.
