Summary

Windham Technical High School is a public technical high school in Willimantic, Connecticut, serving 510 students in grades 9–12 as part of the Connecticut Technical Education and Career System.

For parents, the most striking thing about Windham Technical High School is how engaged its students are. The school posts a 98.2% graduation rate—well above the state average of 91.2%—and its chronic absenteeism rate of just 7.9% is less than half the statewide figure. By comparison, Windham High School, less than a mile away, graduates only 86.7% of its students and has a 31.4% chronic absenteeism rate. Windham Tech even beats wealthier suburban schools like E.O. Smith High School (88.8% graduation, 15.8% absenteeism) and RHAM High School (96% graduation, 14.8% absenteeism) on these measures of student engagement and completion.

Academically, the picture is mixed. Windham Tech's 11th graders shine in science, with 60.5% proficient on the NGSS exam—comfortably above the state average of 50.5% and more than double the 26.9% at nearby Windham High School. But math is a major concern: only 4.8% of 11th graders scored proficient on the SAT math section, compared to 31.3% statewide, and nearby schools like RHAM High School (53.6%) and Bacon Academy (41.9%) far outperform Windham Tech in math. The school also faces serious equity gaps—female students and low-income students rank in the 4th percentile statewide—and the share of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch has risen from 36% to 42% in three years. In short, Windham Tech excels at keeping students engaged and graduating them, with genuine strengths in science, but families should be aware of the significant challenges in math and for specific student subgroups.
