Summary:
Windsor School District in Windsor, CT, is served by a single middle school, Sage Park Middle School, which enrolls 719 students in grades 6 through 8. Because Sage Park is the district's only middle school, its grade-level test scores are essentially identical to the district's middle-school-level scores, making school and district academic data nearly interchangeable for grades 6-8.
Sage Park is an above-median school in Connecticut's middle school rankings, placing 122 out of 258 schools in 2025-2026, which puts it in the 53rd percentile with a 3-star rating. Its state ranking has improved steadily over three years, climbing from the 48th percentile in 2023-2024 to the 53rd percentile in 2025-2026. The school also stands out for its exceptionally low chronic absenteeism rate of 9.8%, compared to 14.3% for the Windsor School District and 16.4% statewide. With over half of students (50.07%) qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch and a favorable student-to-teacher ratio of 10.1 to 1, Sage Park still achieves proficiency rates close to or above state averages in several subjects.
Academically, 7th grade is a clear strength: 7th grade ELA proficiency reached 57.8% in 2025-2026, well above the state average of 52.2%, and 7th grade math reached 48.5% versus 44.1% statewide. Eighth grade math improved significantly, rising from 39.0% to 44.7% and surpassing the state average for the first time in the data. However, 6th grade remains the weakest point, with math proficiency at 37.3% versus 44.4% statewide, and 8th grade science still lags at 44.7% compared to the state's 50.9%. Interestingly, while Sage Park ranks near the middle of Connecticut schools, the district overall ranks in the bottom fifth of districts, suggesting Sage Park is a bright spot within a district that faces broader challenges outside of middle school grades.
