Summary

Amity Regional High School in Woodbridge, CT, is a public high school serving 1,347 students in grades 9-12 as part of Regional School District 05, rated 13th out of 153 Connecticut districts. The school itself ranks 21st out of 133 high schools statewide, placing it in the top quartile. Amity significantly outperforms the state average across all tested subjects: 78.6% of 11th graders are proficient in English Language Arts, 54.8% in math, and 68.3% in science, versus state averages of 55.3%, 31.3%, and 50.5%. The school also posts a 96.3% graduation rate and a remarkably low chronic absenteeism rate of 6.1%, compared to 91.2% and 16.4% statewide.

Amity's performance stands out sharply against neighboring high schools. In science proficiency, Amity's 68.3% far exceeds Hamden High School (34.9%), Derby High School (28.4%), and James Hillhouse High School (21.4%). Even the strongest nearby alternative, Engineering - Science University Magnet School, trails Amity in 11th-grade ELA (75.0% vs. 78.6%), math (41.3% vs. 54.8%), and science (52.6% vs. 68.3%). Graduation rates tell a similar story: Amity graduates 96.3% of students on time, while Hamden High School (88.3%), Derby High School (83.3%), and James Hillhouse High School (69.1%) lag well behind. Chronic absenteeism at Amity (6.1%) is far lower than at nearby schools, several of which exceed 25% or even 40%.

Amity also shows exceptional effectiveness for students who often face additional challenges, ranking in the 99th percentile for low-income students and in the 85th-96th percentile for special education students. At about $17,800 per student, Amity spends less than some nearby lower-performing schools like Hamden High School ($22,737) and Derby High School ($20,445), suggesting efficient use of resources. Math is the relative weak point at roughly 55% proficiency — still far above the state average — while science performance has climbed from 50.9% to 68.3% over three years. With an 11:1 student-teacher ratio and a 5-star district behind it, Amity is a clear academic leader in a region where many neighboring schools face serious challenges.
