Summary:

The Montville School District in Connecticut serves students from elementary through high school, with a total of 5 schools - 3 elementary, 1 middle, and 1 high school. The district's schools display a mix of high-performing and struggling academic results, with the elementary schools standing out as the district's strengths.

The Dr. Charles E. Murphy School and Oakdale School are the top-performing elementary schools, consistently outperforming the district and state averages on standardized tests in English Language Arts and Mathematics. In contrast, the lone middle school, Leonard J. Tyl, struggles with lower test scores and a lower statewide ranking compared to the elementary schools. However, Montville High School maintains a respectable statewide ranking and graduation rate of 88.4%.

One area of concern across the district is the consistently high chronic absenteeism rate of 17.7%, which is higher than the state average. Additionally, the wide range in free/reduced lunch rates, from 35.2% at Oakdale School to 50.17% at Mohegan School, suggests potential equity issues that the district may need to address. Overall, the Montville School District has room for improvement, particularly at the middle school level, but its elementary schools stand out as strong performers.
