Summary:

The Waterbury School District in Connecticut is home to 21 elementary schools serving grades PK-8, with the majority being PK-5 elementary schools. The district as a whole is ranked 149 out of 156 districts in the state and is rated 0 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

A few schools stand out in the district, including Regan School, Carrington School, and Roberto Clemente International Dual Language School, which consistently perform above the district and state averages on standardized tests. The two magnet schools, Maloney Interdistrict Magnet School and Rotella Interdistrict Magnet School, also stand out with higher test scores and rankings than many of the other district schools.

However, the data also reveals significant achievement gaps between the Waterbury School District and the state of Connecticut as a whole, with many schools struggling to meet proficiency standards. The high rates of poverty, as indicated by free/reduced lunch eligibility, seem to be strongly correlated with lower academic achievement across the district, suggesting that addressing the relationship between poverty and performance will be a critical challenge for the district to tackle.
