Summary:
The Windsor School District in Connecticut is home to 4 elementary schools that serve students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. These schools include Oliver Ellsworth School, Poquonock Elementary School, John F. Kennedy School, and Clover Street School. While the schools share some common challenges, such as higher-than-average chronic absenteeism rates, they also exhibit notable differences in academic performance and resource allocation.
Among the standout schools, Clover Street School stands out with the highest per-student spending at $22,378 and the lowest student-teacher ratio at 9:1, which may contribute to its relatively stronger academic performance. Additionally, John F. Kennedy School demonstrates promising results, with 4th and 5th grade proficiency rates in English Language Arts exceeding the district and state averages, as well as the highest 5th grade proficiency rate in Science.
Across the district, the schools face socioeconomic challenges, with free/reduced lunch rates ranging from 45.99% to 47.69%, indicating a significant population of economically disadvantaged students. This, coupled with the consistently high chronic absenteeism rate of 17.7% across all 4 schools, suggests that the district may need to implement targeted interventions and allocate additional resources to address these issues and support student success.
