Summary

Southington High School is a large comprehensive high school in Southington, CT, serving 1,905 students in grades 9–12, and it ranks 35th out of 133 high schools statewide with a 4-star rating, placing it in the 74th percentile of Connecticut high schools. Academically, the school exceeds state averages in every tested subject. In 2025–2026, 66.7% of 11th graders were proficient in English Language Arts on the SAT (55.3% statewide), 39.8% were proficient in math (31.3% statewide), and 68.7% were proficient in science on the NGSS (50.5% statewide). The on-time graduation rate is 96.0%, well above the state's 91.2%.

Compared to nearby schools, Southington is a clear regional standout. Only Berlin High School is a true academic peer, with Berlin edging ahead slightly in test scores; however, Southington has a lower chronic absenteeism rate (14.3% vs. 22.0%) and spends less per student. The gap with other neighbors is large: Bristol Eastern High School, Bristol Central High School, Plainville High School, and New Britain High School all trail Southington by substantial margins in English, math, and science proficiency. Southington's math proficiency of 39.8% is nearly five times higher than New Britain's 8.6%, and its science proficiency of 68.7% is more than double Orville H. Platt High School's 32.4%. Southington also posts a lower chronic absenteeism rate than most nearby schools.

Southington earns 4-star ratings for its work with students from low-income backgrounds and Hispanic students, reflecting strong and equitable instruction. The school's free/reduced lunch rate is 25.7%, and its success with these groups shows that its overall performance is not driven solely by more advantaged students. Math is the relative weak point, with proficiency above the state average but below the school's own ELA and science results. Still, with a student-teacher ratio of 12.7 and lower per-pupil spending than several neighboring districts, Southington delivers efficient, effective education and stands as a model within the Southington School District.
