Plymouth School District

The Plymouth School District in Connecticut is home to 4 schools, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. The district serves a predominantly white student population, with a significant percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating potential socioeconomic challenges.

Among the standout schools in the district, Plymouth Center School stands out with a strong performance history, ranking in the top 25% of Connecticut elementary schools in recent years. The school has a relatively high student-teacher ratio of 11.5, suggesting more personalized attention for students, and spends a relatively high amount per student at $17,719 per year. In contrast, Terryville High School has seen a decline in its statewide ranking, dropping from 67th out of 121 Connecticut high schools in 2017-2018 to 78th out of 142 in 2022-2023, which could be an area of concern.

The Eli Terry Junior Middle School also stands out, with consistently high rankings in the top 30% of Connecticut middle schools in recent years and above-average test scores in English Language Arts and Mathematics, particularly in grades 6 and 7. The school's low student-teacher ratio of 9.3 suggests a more personalized learning environment. However, the district as a whole faces potential equity concerns, with a predominantly white student population and significant disparities in student outcomes that warrant further investigation.
