Summary

RHAM Middle School serves 352 students in grades 7–8 in Hebron, CT, and is part of Regional School District 08, a district that ranks in the middle of Connecticut school systems.

RHAM Middle School consistently scores above the Connecticut state average on state assessments. In 2025–2026, 56% of 7th graders and 58% of 8th graders were proficient in ELA, while math proficiency was 52.5% and 46.3% respectively. The school ranks in the 63rd percentile statewide — solid, but not top-tier. Nearby schools like Mansfield Middle School and Capt. Nathan Hale School post notably higher scores, with Capt. Nathan Hale reaching 80.8% in 8th-grade ELA and 71.3% in 8th-grade math. RHAM, however, is well ahead of schools like Windham Middle School, where math proficiency often falls below 30%.

RHAM's biggest strengths lie outside test scores. The chronic absenteeism rate is just 9.4% versus 16.4% statewide, among the lowest in the region. The student-to-teacher ratio of 8.6:1 is tied for the lowest among comparison schools, and per-pupil spending of $17,844 is higher than several nearby districts. That said, the school saw a noticeable dip in test scores in 2025–2026, particularly in 8th-grade math (from 55.2% to 46.3%) and science (from 63.9% to 53.1%), causing its ranking to slip from 67th to 96th statewide. It's too early to know whether this is a one-year fluctuation or the start of a trend. RHAM also shows varying results across student groups — female students rank in the 51st percentile and male students in the 46th, while low-income students perform relatively well at the 60th percentile. Overall, RHAM is a dependable, above-average school with strong attendance and small classes, though families considering it alongside Glastonbury's Gideon Welles School may want to weigh its recent academic slide against its other strengths.
