Summary

Mohegan School is an elementary school located in Shelton, Connecticut, serving grades PK-4 with a student population of 337. 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. While Mohegan School generally performs better than the state average in both English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics, its performance lags behind the Shelton School District average, particularly in Mathematics.

One significant concern is the school's increasing rate of chronic absenteeism, which has risen from 7.5% in 2022-2023 to 17.7% in 2023-2024, significantly higher than the state and district averages. Additionally, Mohegan School has a higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (31.45% in 2023-2024) compared to the state and district averages, indicating a higher proportion of economically disadvantaged students. The school's student-teacher ratio of 14.2 in 2023-2024 is also higher than some nearby schools, which may impact the level of individual attention and support students receive.

When compared to other elementary schools in the Shelton School District and surrounding areas, Mohegan School generally performs on par or slightly below in terms of test scores and statewide rankings. Schools like Long Hill School, Booth Hill School, and Elizabeth Shelton School tend to outperform Mohegan School in both ELA and Mathematics. To address these challenges, the school and district should focus on targeted interventions for underperforming student subgroups, strategies to improve school attendance, and a comprehensive review of the factors contributing to the school's overall performance.
