Summary:
The New London School District in Connecticut operates 8 schools, including 3 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 3 high schools, with a mix of traditional public and public magnet schools. The district as a whole is ranked 156 out of 156 in the state and rated 0 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger, indicating significant challenges.
Among the standout schools, the Winthrop STEM Elementary Magnet School has the highest performance on standardized tests, with 45.2% of 5th graders proficient or better in ELA and 48.8% proficient or better in Science. The New London Visual and Performing Arts Magnet School has the highest test scores among the middle and high schools, with 30.2% of 6th graders and 29.8% of 7th graders proficient or better in ELA. The Science and Technology Magnet Pathway for Middle Grades also stands out with the second-highest test scores among the middle schools.
However, the district as a whole performs significantly below the state average on standardized tests, with high rates of chronic absenteeism and students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. The magnet schools, while performing better than the traditional public schools, still have room for improvement. Addressing the root causes of the district's poor performance, such as poverty and attendance issues, will require a comprehensive approach to improve educational outcomes for students in the New London School District.
