Summary

Seymour Middle School serves 494 students in grades 6–8 in Seymour, CT, a mixed-income community where about half of families qualify for free or reduced-price lunch in the Seymour School District. While the district overall ranks in the lower half of Connecticut, Seymour Middle punches above that label: it currently ranks 111th out of 258 Connecticut middle schools (57th percentile) with a 3-star rating, a solid improvement from its 2-star status a few years back.

The school's biggest academic strengths show up in upper-grade STEM. In 2025–2026, 8th-grade math proficiency was 53.7% vs. 41.9% statewide, and 8th-grade science was 69.3% vs. 50.9% statewide — nearly identical to Oxford Middle School (69.4%) and close to Jockey Hollow School (72.8%), despite Seymour serving many more low-income students. The weak spot is 6th grade, where ELA (43.8%) and math (41.3%) trail both the state and Seymour's own 7th- and 8th-grade results, suggesting a challenging transition into middle school.

Attendance is a watch item: Seymour's chronic absenteeism rate is 15.0%, slightly better than the state's 16.4% but well above the region's top middle schools (Jockey Hollow 7.0%, Oxford 7.9%, Amity around 4–5%), and the trend has ticked up over the past two years. There's an equity bright spot: low-income Seymour students rank at the 67th percentile compared to similar students statewide, and Hispanic students have also ranked well in recent years. On spending, Seymour invests about $15,875 per pupil — modest compared to Monroe ($17,263) and Amity ($19,000+), yet its 8th-grade science and math results land in the same neighborhood as those schools. Meanwhile, it clearly outpaces Ansonia Middle School and Derby Middle School, which serve similarly high-poverty populations but post far lower scores.
