Summary

Woodland Regional High School in Beacon Falls, Connecticut, is a public high school serving 571 students in grades 9 through 12 as part of Regional School District 16. For the 2025–2026 school year, it ranked 9th out of 133 high schools statewide with a 5-star rating—the highest among all nearby schools in the region. Notably, this represents a dramatic jump from #34 the previous year, and the school now outperforms more affluent neighboring schools like Masuk High School and Amity Regional High School in most academic metrics.

Woodland's test scores are well above state averages. In 2025–2026, 76.7% of students met proficiency in English language arts (state: 55.3%), 64.7% in math (state: 31.3%), and 80.9% in science (state: 50.5%). The science results are the highest among all nearby high schools, topping Amity (68.3%) and Masuk (69.6%). The math proficiency rate exceeds Masuk (48.2%), Amity (54.8%), and vastly outperforms Seymour High School (35.2%), Naugatuck High School (12.1%), and Ansonia High School (9.9%). These gains are recent: between 2023–2024 and 2025–2026, math proficiency rose from 34% to 64.7%, and science from 58% to 80.9%.

Beyond academics, Woodland graduates 95.9% of its students, above the state average of 91.2%. The school's chronic absenteeism rate of 13.5% is below the state average (16.4%) but double the district's 6.2%—a pattern suggesting high school attendance is a challenge that hasn't yet affected outcomes. For context, Oxford High School has a 33.6% rate and Naugatuck High School 21.8%, while Amity Regional High School leads the region at 6.1%. With a favorable 11:1 student-teacher ratio, Regional School District 16's high school appears to be the district's crown jewel: its #9 statewide rank far exceeds the district's overall #27 ranking. Woodland's achievements—especially its rapid rise in STEM subjects—offer a compelling model for other Naugatuck Valley districts.
