High Schools in New Britain School District

Summary:

The New Britain School District in Connecticut has only one high school, New Britain High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. The school has consistently ranked among the lowest-performing high schools in the state, with a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger and academic proficiency rates well below the state averages.

New Britain High School's performance has been consistently poor, with the school ranking 128th out of 141 Connecticut high schools in the 2024-2025 school year and 121st out of 145 schools in the 2023-2024 school year. The school's four-year graduation rate of 88.4% is slightly below the state average, and its chronic absenteeism rate of 17.7% is significantly higher than the state average. Academically, only 30.9% of 11th-grade students were proficient or better in SAT/English Language Arts, compared to the state average of 58%, and just 8.2% were proficient or better in SAT/Math, compared to the state average of 31.1%.

The school's challenges may be exacerbated by the high percentage of students (69.6%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a significant level of economic disadvantage among the student population. Despite the district's relatively high spending per student, the academic performance of New Britain High School remains poor, suggesting the need for a more targeted and effective approach to resource allocation and student support.
