Summary:
The Windsor Locks School District in Connecticut has only one middle school, Windsor Locks Middle School, which serves students in grades 6-8. The school's performance has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past three years, dropping from 120th out of 249 Connecticut middle schools in 2022-2023 to 135th out of 252 in 2024-2025.
Windsor Locks Middle School's academic performance on SBAC tests is mixed, with 6th and 8th-grade students performing below the state average in English Language Arts, while 7th-grade students perform slightly above. In Mathematics, the school's performance is below the state average across all grade levels. The school has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (43.17%), indicating a significant population of economically disadvantaged students.
Despite the district's relatively high per-student spending of $21,931, which is higher than the state average, the uneven academic performance suggests that the allocation of resources may need to be re-evaluated to ensure they are effectively supporting student learning. The school's low student-teacher ratio of 8:1 could be an advantage in providing more personalized attention to students, but the declining performance and socioeconomic challenges faced by the school community indicate a need for targeted interventions and support to improve student outcomes.
