High Schools in Stratford School District

Summary:

The Stratford School District in Connecticut is home to two high schools: Stratford High School and Bunnell High School. Both schools serve grades 9-12 and have similar performance metrics, with neither school standing out significantly above the other.

Stratford High School and Bunnell High School both ranked in the middle of the pack among Connecticut high schools, with 2-star ratings from SchoolDigger. Their four-year graduation rates were identical at 88.4%, and they had similar chronic absenteeism rates of 17.7%. In academic performance, both schools fell below the state averages in SAT/English Language Arts, SAT/Math, and NGSS/Science proficiency. The schools also had comparable free and reduced lunch rates, around 45%, and per-student spending of approximately $18,000.

While the student-teacher ratios were relatively low, at 13.9 and 12.9 students per teacher, respectively, this factor alone does not seem to be driving significant improvements in academic outcomes. The data suggests that the Stratford School District may need to closely examine its strategies, resource allocation, and targeted interventions to address the areas of concern and improve educational outcomes for all high school students in the district.
