Naugatuck School District

Summary:

The Naugatuck School District in Connecticut consists of 9 schools, including 5 elementary schools, 3 middle schools, and 1 high school. The district as a whole is ranked 138 out of 156 school districts in the state and is rated 1 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger.

Within the district, a few schools stand out. Hop Brook Elementary School has the highest proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics among the elementary schools, with 46.3% and 44.3% proficiency respectively in 4th grade for the 2024-2025 school year. Hillside Intermediate School has the highest 6th grade ELA proficiency rate in the district at 47.6% for 2024-2025, while Western School has the second highest 4th grade ELA proficiency rate at 58.5% for the same year.

However, the district as a whole faces significant challenges, with low overall performance on standardized tests, high rates of chronic absenteeism, and high poverty levels across the schools. The 11th grade proficiency rates at Naugatuck High School lag behind the state averages, and most schools in the district rank in the bottom half of their respective grade levels statewide. While there are some bright spots, such as the stronger performance of Hop Brook and Western elementary schools, the Naugatuck School District faces significant challenges that need to be addressed to improve student outcomes.
