Summary

Seymour High School is a public high school serving grades 9-12 in Seymour, Connecticut, with a student population of 598. The school is part of the Seymour School District, which is ranked 96 out of 156 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Seymour High School has consistently ranked in the middle-to-upper range of Connecticut high schools, typically between 60-90 out of around 140 schools, and has maintained a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger over the past several years. The school performs well for its Special Education students, ranking 17th out of 175 Connecticut high schools in this category. However, its performance for White students and Male students is relatively lower, ranking in the 80s and 60s, respectively, out of around 100 schools. Seymour High School's 4-year graduation rate of around 86-89% is on par with the state average, but its chronic absenteeism rate has fluctuated between 14-21% in recent years, slightly higher than the state average.

Compared to nearby schools, Seymour High School performs better than some, such as Common Ground High School, Naugatuck High School, and Derby High School, which are all ranked lower and have lower test scores and graduation rates. However, it lags behind higher-performing schools like Masuk High School, Amity Regional High School, and Woodland Regional High School. The school's growing population of economically disadvantaged students, as indicated by the increasing free/reduced lunch rates, may be contributing to its relatively lower performance in certain areas compared to more affluent nearby schools.
