Summary:
The Somers School District is served by a single high school, Somers High School, a small traditional public school on Vision Boulevard in Somers, CT, enrolling 359 students across grades 9–12. The district itself is rated 4 stars and ranked 45th out of 153 Connecticut districts, while its high school has risen to 18th out of 133 high schools statewide, placing it in the 86th percentile.
Academically, Somers High School is a standout performer. Around 79.2% of students meet or exceed ELA proficiency on the SAT, and 80.2% are proficient in science on the NGSS — both far above state averages of 55.3% and 50.5%, respectively. Math proficiency is a relative weakness at 45.5%, though still 14 points above Connecticut's 31.3% average. The school also posted a near-perfect 98.9% graduation rate for 2024–2025, well above the state's 91.2%, and chronic absenteeism sits at just 8.8% — roughly half the state average of 16.4%. With a 7.7:1 student–teacher ratio and only 5.29% of students qualifying for free/reduced lunch, the school enjoys a low-poverty, small-class environment that supports personal attention.
Recent trends are encouraging. ELA proficiency climbed from 72.5% to 79.2% year over year, and the school's state ranking has improved steadily — from 49th in 2022–2023 to 30th in 2023–2024 and now 18th for 2025–2026. Since Somers High School is the district's only high school, its metrics essentially mirror the district's high school-level performance. One caveat: the latest per-student spending figure of $17,068 dates back to 2018–2019, so current spending may differ. Overall, families can expect a high-achieving, well-attended school with excellent ELA and science outcomes, though math remains the clearest opportunity for improvement.
