Best Middle Schools in Connecticut for Female Students

Check out our new feature available only on SchoolDigger: rankings for different groups of students in Connecticut!

Every year, the Connecticut Department of Education shares test results for various student groups in each school. We use these results to find out which schools do best for each group and list them from the best to the worst.

Additionally, we also compare the performance of the subgroup to the performance of the school as a whole. This makes it easy to see if, for example, Female students are overperforming or underperforming their peers in each school.

New rankings! Connecticut NGSS and SBAC test scores for the 2025-26 school year were just released — SchoolDigger posted updated rankings this week.

Be the first to know when we post new rankings!
