High Schools in Plymouth School District

The Plymouth School District in Connecticut is home to a single high school, Terryville High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. While the school benefits from relatively high per-student spending and a low student-teacher ratio, its academic performance has been a concern, with proficiency rates on standardized tests falling below state averages.

Terryville High School's enrollment of 367 students is predominantly White (78.75%), with smaller populations of Hispanic (11.72%) and Asian (3.54%) students. The school also serves a significant number of economically disadvantaged students, with 42.78% of the student body eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. This socioeconomic factor may contribute to the school's academic challenges, as evidenced by its declining statewide ranking and fluctuating SchoolDigger rating over the years.

While the school district's per-student spending and low student-teacher ratio suggest a commitment to providing resources, the academic performance data indicates that these resources may not be translating into improved student outcomes. Without comparative data from other high schools in the district, it is difficult to assess Terryville High School's performance relative to its peers. However, the available information suggests that the school district may need to re-evaluate its strategies and allocate resources more effectively to address the academic needs of its students, particularly those from economically disadvantaged backgrounds.
