Summary

Intermediate School is a public middle school located in Shelton, Connecticut, serving grades 7-8 with a total enrollment of 752 students. The school 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.

Intermediate School has seen a fluctuating ranking within Connecticut middle schools, ranging from 55th to 130th out of around 250 schools in recent years. The school's rating has also varied, with 4 stars out of 5 in the past but dropping to 3 stars in 2022-2023 and 2 stars in the last two school years. Compared to nearby schools like Amity Middle School: Orange and Hillcrest Middle School, Intermediate School's ranking and rating are generally lower. However, the school performs better than lower-performing schools such as Ansonia Middle School and Derby Middle School.

Intermediate School's student performance in English Language Arts and Mathematics has declined in recent years, with proficiency rates falling below the state average. The school's chronic absenteeism rate has also risen significantly, from 12.6% in 2023-2024 to 20% in 2022-2023, which is higher than the state average. While the school's per-student spending and student-teacher ratio are generally in line with the state and nearby schools, the school may need to implement targeted interventions and equity-focused strategies to address these challenges and improve student outcomes.
