Summary

Teachers' Memorial Global Studies Magnet Middle School is a public magnet middle school in Norwich, Connecticut, serving 486 students in grades 6-8. The school is part of the Norwich School District, which is ranked 150 out of 156 districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger. Unfortunately, Teachers' Memorial Global Studies Magnet Middle School has consistently ranked in the bottom quarter of Connecticut middle schools, with a 0-1 star rating.

The school's academic performance, as measured by standardized test scores, is significantly below the state and district averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 18.4% of 6th graders, 20.7% of 7th graders, and 25% of 8th graders were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to the state averages of 50%, 50.4%, and 50.7%, respectively. The math proficiency rates are even lower, with only 7.4% of 6th graders, 11.4% of 7th graders, and 4.1% of 8th graders meeting or exceeding proficiency standards, compared to the state averages of 42.9%, 43.2%, and 40.8%. The school also has consistently high rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 17.7% to 32.8% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state average.

When compared to other nearby middle schools, such as Kelly STEAM Magnet Middle School (also in the Norwich School District) and Bennie Dover Jackson Middle School (in the New London School District), Teachers' Memorial Global Studies Magnet Middle School consistently performs worse academically. The school's performance is particularly low for certain student subgroups, such as White students, English Language Learners, and students with special needs. Despite being a magnet school, Teachers' Memorial Global Studies Magnet Middle School does not appear to be performing significantly better than the surrounding traditional public schools in the area.
