Summary

Booth Hill School is an elementary school located in Shelton, Connecticut, serving 283 students in grades K-4. It is part of the Shelton School District, which is ranked 77 out of 156 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Booth Hill School consistently outperforms the Shelton School District and the state of Connecticut in standardized test scores, with 60.7% of 3rd graders and 56.5% of 4th graders proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 59.6% and 57.9% for the district, and 46.9% and 51.4% for the state, respectively. In mathematics, Booth Hill School had 80.3% of 3rd graders and 67.7% of 4th graders proficient or better, compared to 73.3% and 67.5% for the district, and 52.2% and 51.4% for the state. However, the school's performance for female students and white students is not as strong, ranking 84th and 94th, respectively, in the state.

Despite its strong academic performance, Booth Hill School's statewide ranking has declined from 67th out of 532 Connecticut elementary schools in 2017-2018 to 164th out of 493 in 2024-2025. This suggests that while the school is maintaining its academic standards, other schools in the state may be improving at a faster rate. Additionally, the school has seen a concerning increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 6.9% in 2021-2022 to 17.7% in 2023-2024, which is higher than the district's average. The growing percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, from 15.71% in 2021-2022 to 23.67% in 2023-2024, may indicate a need for additional resources and support to address the unique needs of economically disadvantaged students and their families.

What people are saying

by a parent
Monday, May 3, 2021

This school is unbelievably bad.
-no homework given (what????? I had to ask to be sure I wasn’t crazy)i

- bullying on bus and in school without consequences

- there is NO band offered so students do not have an opportunity to learn instruments (is this 2021 in a middle class suburb?????)

-a large number of the kids who go here bring behavioral problems to school. There is physical fighting on the bus, cursing etc in an elementary school!!!! Within 6 months here my child came
home knowing the F word. She knows it because it was written on the playground equipment there and her friend told her about it!

-
There seems to be no device policy whatsoever and almost all of these kids are coming to school with various devices and watching YouTube and tiktok videos including ones that include adult
Content or are frightening and then passing on the content to other kids. Why a child who is under 5th grade has unrestricted access to the internet???? I don’t know but it’s up to the school to make the environment safe there.

-teachers and admin are subpar and do not care. My child has a distinct sense that no one cares about kids there.

-they only get to use playground equipment one time per week because it’s on some kind of rotating schedule and the rest of the time is blacktop play. What a joyless place. Close Quote
