Summary:
Regional School District 05 in Connecticut is served by a single high school, Amity Regional High School, which enrolls 1,347 students in grades 9 through 12 in the Woodbridge area. As the only high school in Regional School District 05, this school defines the district's high school profile, so the most useful comparisons are against Connecticut state averages and the school's own recent performance.
Amity Regional High School is a clear standout, consistently earning 4 stars and improving its statewide rank for three straight years—moving from #34 in 2023–2024 to #21 in 2025–2026. Academic proficiency is far above state averages across the board: in 2025–2026, SAT English Language Arts proficiency reached 78.6% versus 55.3% statewide, math reached 54.8% versus 31.3%, and NGSS science reached 68.3% versus 50.5%. The school also posts a 96.3% graduation rate, well above the state's 91.2%, and a chronic absenteeism rate of just 6.1% compared to the state average of 16.4%. These outcomes are supported by strong resources, including a low 11:1 student-teacher ratio and per-student spending of $17,815, while only 16.78% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.
Year-over-year trends are mostly positive: math proficiency rose from 52.8% to 54.8% and science jumped from 64.2% to 68.3% between 2024–2025 and 2025–2026. The only area to watch is English Language Arts, which dipped from 81.4% to 78.6%—though it remains exceptionally high. One notable nuance is that the district itself holds a 5-star rating and ranks 13th out of 153 districts, while the school carries a 4-star rating in its own rank history; both are strong. For parents, Amity Regional High School offers an academically rigorous, well-funded environment with excellent attendance and graduation outcomes, making it one of Connecticut's top high schools.
