Summary:
The Montville School District has only one middle school, Leonard J. Tyl Middle School, which serves grades 6-8. The school's performance metrics suggest some areas for improvement, particularly in mathematics proficiency and chronic absenteeism rates.
Leonard J. Tyl Middle School has a student enrollment of 512 and is ranked 131 out of 252 Connecticut middle schools for the 2024-2025 school year, with a 2-out-of-5-star rating from School Digger. The school's English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency rates are close to the district and state averages, but its mathematics proficiency rates are consistently lower across all grade levels. Additionally, the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 17.7% is significantly higher than the state's average.
While the school's spending per student of $17,826 is higher than the national average, it is unclear if this higher spending is translating into improved student outcomes. The school's declining School Digger ranking, from 121 out of 249 Connecticut middle schools in 2022-2023 to 131 out of 252 in 2024-2025, suggests a relative decline in performance compared to other schools in the state. The school's leadership and the Montville School District may want to focus on addressing the areas of concern, such as the low mathematics proficiency rates and high chronic absenteeism, to improve the overall performance of Leonard J. Tyl Middle School.
