Southington School District

The Southington School District in Connecticut comprises 13 schools, including 10 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 1 high school, serving students from preschool through 12th grade. The district is ranked 57th out of 151 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating a mix of strong-performing and average-performing schools.

Among the standout schools in the district is Southington High School, which ranks 41st out of 142 Connecticut high schools and boasts strong test scores, with 61.7% of 11th graders proficient or better in ELA, 43.9% in Math, and 65.6% in Science. The district's elementary schools also shine, with Flanders Elementary School and Oshana Elementary School standing out for their low student-teacher ratios and impressive test scores, with over 70% of 3rd graders proficient or better in Math.

While the district generally outperforms the state averages, especially in Math and Science, there are some equity considerations to explore. The range of free and reduced lunch rates, from 14.23% at Urbin T. Kelley School to 31.77% at Flanders Elementary School, suggests varying levels of economic disadvantage across the schools. Additionally, the significant differences in spending per student, from $13,075 at Thalberg Elementary School to $18,439 at Hatton Elementary School, could indicate potential inequities in resource allocation that warrant further exploration.
