Killingly Memorial School

Summary:

Killingly Memorial School is an elementary school located in Danielson, Connecticut, serving grades 2-4 with a student population of 532. The school is part of the Killingly School District, which is ranked 131 out of 158 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Killingly Memorial School faces significant challenges in terms of academic performance, school ranking, and student subgroup outcomes. The school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics are consistently below the state average, and it ranks in the bottom half of Connecticut elementary schools. Additionally, the school's performance on student subgroups, such as female, male, and white students, is concerning, with the school ranking in the bottom quarter of schools in these categories. However, the school performs better for low socioeconomic status students, ranking in the middle third of schools in this category.

Compared to nearby schools, such as Canterbury Elementary School and Pomfret Community School, Killingly Memorial School's performance is generally lower. These nearby schools outperform Killingly Memorial School in academic proficiency and school rankings, despite having similar or even less racial diversity. The school's high free and reduced lunch rates, along with its relatively high student-teacher ratio, suggest that targeted interventions and strategies may be needed to improve student learning and achievement.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
