Summary:
The Seymour School District in Connecticut is home to two elementary schools: Chatfield-LoPresti School and Bungay School. Both schools serve students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade and have maintained consistent performance over the past few years.
Based on the available data, Chatfield-LoPresti School appears to be the standout performer, with consistently higher proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science compared to the Seymour School District and state averages. For example, in 2024-2025, 65.8% of 4th graders at Chatfield-LoPresti were proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to 66.9% for the district and 51.4% for the state. Additionally, Chatfield-LoPresti School outperformed the district and state in 5th grade Science proficiency, with 55.2% of students scoring proficient or better in 2024-2025.
While both schools have similar chronic absenteeism rates, slightly higher than the state average, they differ in their student demographics and spending per student. Chatfield-LoPresti School has a higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at 51.87%, compared to 41.25% at Bungay School. However, the higher spending per student at Bungay School ($15,343 compared to $14,882 at Chatfield-LoPresti) does not seem to translate to better academic outcomes, as Chatfield-LoPresti continues to outperform its counterpart.
