Summary

Mohegan School is an elementary school in Shelton, Connecticut, serving 325 students in pre-kindergarten through grade 4 and is part of the Shelton School District. While the school earned a 3-star rating and ranked 207th out of 491 elementary schools statewide for 2025-2026, this reflects a notable decline from its past performance — a decade ago it ranked in the top 60 schools in the state. Today, Mohegan is the lowest-ranked among all nearby elementary schools for which data are available.

Academically, Mohegan’s test scores are a mixed picture. On the 2025-2026 SBAC, proficiency rates were above Connecticut state averages in both ELA and math, but they lag behind every other elementary school in the Shelton district and several neighboring districts. For example, 3rd grade ELA proficiency was 51.5% at Mohegan, compared to 63.8% at Long Hill School and 66.7% at Booth Hill School (Shelton). In 4th grade math, Mohegan’s 65.6% proficient was below Booth Hill School (Shelton) (76.7%) and roughly even with Elizabeth Shelton School (65.5%). Math remains a relative strength — still noticeably above state averages — but that edge has narrowed in recent years, especially in 4th grade.

One clear strength is attendance: Mohegan’s chronic absenteeism rate is just 4.1%, far below the district average of 12.6% and the state average of 16.4%. That rate has dropped sharply from 14.7% three years ago, showing real progress. Notably, Long Hill School, located just under four miles away, serves a student population with higher economic need (43% free/reduced-price lunch vs. 31% at Mohegan) yet achieves significantly higher test scores and a better state ranking. Long Hill also has a much lower student-teacher ratio (10.3 vs. 13.7), suggesting that targeted staffing and interventions may be making a difference. Spending per student at Mohegan is mid-range compared to neighbors, which points to resource deployment, not overall funding, as the key factor to examine as the school looks to reverse its downward trend.
