Summary

Integrated Day Charter School is a PK–8 charter school in Norwich, CT, serving 364 students and operating as the only school in the Integrated Day Charter School District. It is a mid-performing school — currently ranked 323rd out of 491 Connecticut elementary schools — but it offers families a few things most nearby schools cannot: a middle-school program that extends through 8th grade, and a cost-efficient operation spending roughly $11,951 per student, far less than the $16,000–$19,000 typical of many neighboring district schools. About 53% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, a poverty level similar to Mohegan School and well above Ledyard-area schools like Gales Ferry School and Juliet W. Long School, though below most Norwich School District schools.

One of the school's clearest success stories is attendance. Chronic absenteeism has fallen dramatically from 23.3% in 2021–2022 to just 10.7% today, well below the Connecticut state average of 16.4%. That beats several nearby schools, including Samuel Huntington School (20%), Veterans' Memorial School (23%), and even Mohegan School (12.5%). IDCS achieves this with a student–teacher ratio of about 14:1, similar to Juliet W. Long School, but higher than Uncas Elementary School (10.4:1) and Gales Ferry School (11:1).

Academically, IDCS shows a two-tier pattern. Middle-school English language arts is a genuine standout — 7th-grade ELA proficiency has topped the state by roughly 8 to 20 points for four straight years. Elementary math is the weak spot, with 3rd-grade math at just 26.5% proficient in 2024–2025 and 4th-grade math at 35.3% vs. 52.1% statewide in 2025–2026. Compared with similar-poverty neighbor Mohegan School, IDCS wins in early reading but trails in elementary math, and Thomas W. Mahan School — another high-poverty Norwich school — outpaced IDCS in several early-grade subjects, showing the challenges are not purely demographic. After reaching the 65th percentile in 2021–2022, the school has slipped to the 34th percentile, so families should weigh the strong attendance and upper-grade ELA results against the math dip and sliding overall rank.
