Elementary Schools in Montville School District

Summary:

The Montville School District in Connecticut is home to three elementary schools: Oakdale School, Mohegan School, and Dr. Charles E. Murphy School. These schools serve students from kindergarten through 5th grade and provide a range of educational opportunities within the district.

Among the three schools, Dr. Charles E. Murphy School stands out as a consistent top performer, ranking between 181-195 out of 493-497 schools statewide. This school boasts the highest proficiency rates in both English Language Arts and Mathematics across all grade levels, often exceeding the district and state averages. For instance, in the 2024-2025 school year, 64.3% of 3rd graders at Dr. Charles E. Murphy School were proficient or better in ELA, compared to the district average of 50.3% and the state average of 46.9%. Oakdale School also performs well, with a statewide ranking between 165-218 out of 491-497 schools and the second-highest proficiency rates in both ELA and Mathematics.

While the district and state averages for proficiency in ELA and Mathematics are relatively similar, there are significant disparities between the individual schools. Additionally, the school with the highest per-student spending, Oakdale School, does not necessarily have the highest proficiency rates, suggesting that factors beyond just funding, such as teaching quality, curriculum, and student demographics, may play a significant role in academic performance. The high chronic absenteeism rate of 17.7% across all three schools is also a concern that the Montville School District may need to address.
