Summary:
Regional School District 15 in Connecticut is home to two high-performing middle schools: Rochambeau Middle School and Memorial Middle School. Both schools serve grades 6-8 and demonstrate strong academic achievement, with test scores well above the state averages in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science.
Rochambeau Middle School stands out as the stronger performer, consistently ranking between 44th and 72nd out of 249-252 Connecticut middle schools over the past three years and maintaining a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school outperforms Memorial Middle School, which has been ranked between 64th and 95th during the same period and holds a 3-4 star rating. In 8th grade, for example, Rochambeau Middle School had 62.7% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 54.5% at Memorial Middle School.
Both schools demonstrate strong performance, with students scoring significantly above the state average in all subject areas. However, Rochambeau Middle School benefits from a slightly lower student-teacher ratio and higher per-student spending, which may contribute to its academic success. Additionally, both schools face a challenge with chronic absenteeism, with a 17.7% rate for the 2023-2024 school year, an area that Regional School District 15 may need to address.
