Summary:

The Naugatuck School District in Connecticut is home to a single high school, Naugatuck High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. While the school has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating economic challenges, its academic performance has been declining in recent years compared to other high schools in the state.

Naugatuck High School's statewide ranking has dropped from 86th out of 139 high schools in 2021-2022 to 117th out of 141 high schools in 2024-2025, and it is currently rated only 1 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger, suggesting below-average performance.

Additionally, Naugatuck High School's test scores in English Language Arts, Math, and Science are significantly lower than the state averages for the 2024-2025 and 2023-2024 school years.

Despite the school's higher-than-average spending per student of $17,378 for the 2018-2019 school year, the resources do not appear to be effectively utilized, as the school's academic performance remains below the state average. The school's student-teacher ratio of 16.3 is slightly higher than the state average, which may also be a contributing factor to the school's challenges. Overall, the data suggests that Naugatuck High School is a relatively low-performing school within the state of Connecticut, facing a variety of challenges that need to be addressed to improve student success.
