Summary

Edgar H. Parkman School is an elementary school located in Enfield, Connecticut, serving grades 3-5 with a total enrollment of 253 students. The school is part of the Enfield School District, which is ranked 105 out of 156 districts in Connecticut and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While the school's test scores are generally lower than the Enfield School District and Connecticut state averages, it is not alone in this challenge. Nearby schools within the district, such as Prudence Crandall School, Eli Whitney School, and Henry Barnard School, also have similar performance characteristics. However, some nearby schools, like McAlister Intermediate School in the Suffield School District, perform significantly better than Edgar H. Parkman School.

Additionally, Edgar H. Parkman School has consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 17.7% to 20% in recent years, which are higher than the state average. The school's performance for specific student subgroups, such as female and male students, is also generally lower than the state averages for those subgroups. While the school's per-student spending and student-teacher ratio are comparable to nearby schools, these factors alone do not seem to be driving the school's challenges. By addressing the identified areas of concern, such as teaching practices, curriculum, and student engagement, the school can work towards enhancing the educational experiences and outcomes for its students.
