Summary:
The Windsor Locks School District in Connecticut is served by a single middle school, Windsor Locks Middle School, which enrolls 314 students in grades 6 through 8.
Since this is the district's only middle school, parents in the area will want to know how it stacks up against state averages. The school has ranked in the 44th–46th percentile among Connecticut middle schools over the past three years, earning a 2-star rating each year. The strongest results come from 7th grade, where students exceeded state averages in both English Language Arts (53.6% vs. 52.2%) and Mathematics (47.2% vs. 44.1%) in 2025–26. Attendance is another bright spot, with a chronic absenteeism rate of 14.8% — below the state rate of 16.4% and well below the district's 21.2% — despite nearly half of students (49.04%) qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.
There are also concerns worth monitoring. Sixth-grade proficiency declined sharply year over year, with ELA dropping from 42.3% to 32% and math from 40.3% to 30.1%, leaving 6th graders well below state averages in both subjects. Eighth-grade math has also remained persistently low at roughly 31–32%, compared to the state average near 42%. On the positive side, the school is well-resourced, with per-student spending of about $21,931 and an 8:1 student-to-teacher ratio. Overall, Windsor Locks Middle School outperforms the district's overall profile, which ranks in the 15th percentile statewide, but families should pay attention to how their child's specific grade level is performing given the uneven results across grades and subjects.
