High Schools in Middletown School District

Summary:

The Middletown School District in Connecticut is home to a single high school, Middletown High School, which serves grades 9-12. The district as a whole is ranked 129 out of 156 districts in the state and is rated 1 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger, indicating that the schools in this area are generally underperforming compared to the rest of Connecticut.

Middletown High School's performance is also below the state average, with a SchoolDigger ranking that has declined over the past three school years, dropping from 81 out of 142 Connecticut high schools in 2022-2023 to 101 out of 145 in 2023-2024 and 101 out of 141 in 2024-2025. The school's test scores in English Language Arts, Math, and Science are significantly lower than the state average, and its four-year graduation rate of 88.4% is slightly below the state average. Additionally, the school has a higher-than-average chronic absenteeism rate of 17.7%.

Despite the district spending $18,796 per student, which is higher than the state average, and having a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 11.8, Middletown High School's performance remains below par. This suggests that factors beyond just funding and staffing may be contributing to the school's challenges, such as the high percentage of students (46.97%) who are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a significant level of economic disadvantage among the student population.
