Summary:

The New Milford School District in Connecticut consists of 5 schools, including 3 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. The district serves a diverse student population and faces some challenges in academic performance and student engagement.

New Milford High School stands out as the top-performing school in the district, ranking 65th out of 141 Connecticut high schools and earning a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school has relatively high 11th-grade proficiency rates in English Language Arts (59.6%) and Science (43.4%), though its Math proficiency (27%) is lower. Hill and Plain School, an elementary school, also performs well, with a low student-teacher ratio of 10.9 in 2023-2024.

However, the district as a whole faces some challenges. Schaghticoke Middle School has 6th-8th grade proficiency rates below the state averages in both English Language Arts and Math. Additionally, chronic absenteeism rates are high across all schools in the district, reaching 17.7% in 2023-2024. While the district allocates significant resources, with relatively high per-student spending and low student-teacher ratios, these investments do not seem to be translating into strong academic outcomes for all students.
