Weston School District

The Weston School District in Connecticut is a high-performing district with four schools: two elementary schools, one middle school, and one high school. The district is known for its exceptional academic achievements, with its top schools, Weston High School and Weston Middle School, consistently ranking among the best in the state.

Weston High School and Weston Middle School stand out as the district's top performers, with students significantly outperforming the state average on standardized tests, including SAT/ELA, SAT/Math, and NGSS/Science assessments. Weston High School boasts proficiency rates around 90% in ELA, 70% in Math, and 84% in Science, while Weston Middle School students excel with proficiency rates ranging from 77% to 88% across these subjects. The district's elementary schools, Weston Intermediate School and Hurlbutt Elementary School, also perform well above the state average on these assessments.

Despite the district's overall academic success, there is one area of concern: the chronic absenteeism rate across all four schools is higher than the state would like to see, at 17.7%. Additionally, the data does not provide information on the free/reduced lunch rates, making it difficult to assess how the district is serving students from lower socioeconomic backgrounds. However, the district's significant per-student spending, particularly at Weston High School, may be contributing to the exceptional performance of its top schools.
