Middle Schools in Plymouth School District

Summary:

The Plymouth School District in Connecticut has one middle school, Eli Terry Junior Middle School, which serves grades 6-8. While the school has some positive metrics, such as a relatively low student-teacher ratio, it faces challenges in academic performance, attendance, and socioeconomic factors.

Eli Terry Junior Middle School's overall state ranking is relatively low, placing 127th out of 252 Connecticut middle schools in the 2024-2025 school year. The school's performance on SBAC English Language Arts and Mathematics assessments is below the state average, particularly in 6th and 8th grade. Additionally, the school has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 17.7% in the 2023-2024 school year, which could be a contributing factor to the academic challenges.

The school also serves a population with significant economic disadvantages, with 50.36% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch in the 2023-2024 school year. This suggests that the school may need additional resources and support to ensure these students have the necessary tools to succeed. Despite these challenges, the school's consistent 3-star rating from SchoolDigger over the past few years indicates that its performance has been relatively stable, though still below the state average.
