Hamden School District


Summary:

The Hamden School District in Connecticut consists of 10 schools, including 8 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school, serving a diverse student population across the area. The district's performance varies significantly, with some standout schools like Spring Glen School and Bear Path School consistently ranking among the top in the state, while others like Helen Street School and Church Street School struggle to meet state standards.

The data reveals stark performance gaps between the highest and lowest-performing schools, with a clear correlation between socioeconomic status and academic outcomes. Schools with higher rates of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, such as Church Street and Dunbar Hill School, tend to have the lowest test scores. Meanwhile, the district's lone high school, Hamden High School, has seen its statewide ranking decline in recent years, despite relatively stable proficiency rates.

Overall, the Hamden School District showcases a wide range of academic performance, with some exceptional schools alongside those that are underperforming. The district will likely need to focus on its lowest-performing schools to improve overall outcomes and address the significant disparities in student achievement across the system.
