Parish Hill High School

Public Grades 7-12

Summary

Parish Hill High School is a public high school located in Chaplin, Connecticut, serving grades 7-12 with a total enrollment of 220 students. The school is part of Regional School District 11, which is ranked 71 out of 158 districts in Connecticut and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Parish Hill High School has consistently ranked in the top half of Connecticut high schools, with a ranking of 49 out of 145 schools in the 2023-2024 school year, earning a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's performance on standardized tests, such as the SAT, is generally above the state and regional averages, with 65.5% of 11th-grade students proficient or better in SAT/English Language Arts, compared to the state average of 54.8%, and 34.5% proficient or better in SAT/Math, compared to the state average of 29.5%. However, the student population at Parish Hill High School is predominantly White, with only 2.27% African American, 7.73% Hispanic, and 0.91% Asian students, which may limit the school's ability to provide a well-rounded educational experience.

Despite the lack of racial diversity, Parish Hill High School has a significant population of students from low-income families, with 37.73% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2022-2023 school year. This socioeconomic challenge may require the school to allocate additional resources and support to meet the needs of these students. On a positive note, the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 8.4 students per teacher, which suggests an efficient use of resources and the potential for more individualized attention and support for students. Compared to nearby schools like H. H. Ellis Technical High School and Quinebaug Middle College, Parish Hill High School appears to be a strong academic performer, though it faces some challenges in terms of diversity and socioeconomic factors.

I have two students at Parish Hill Middle/High School and I remain impressed and appreciative of the education and social experience that my students receive. They are consistently engaged with a challenging education. My students are both in honors/advanced classes, are in band and sports and they are driven to keep their honors/high honors each year. I thank the teachers and staff at this school for providing my students this environment. We are very lucky to have this environment available. Students are PHMHS are given the tools and support they need to succeed and excel during their time at the school and in all future endeavors. Let's not forget that Parish Hill has a 100% graduation rate! Close Quote
