Summary

Tourtellotte Memorial High School is a small public high school in North Grosvenordale, CT, serving 184 students in grades 9–12 as the only high school in the Thompson School District. With a student-teacher ratio of just 7.8 to 1 and per-pupil spending of about $20,900, the school invests heavily in staffing compared with nearby schools. Only Parish Hill High School has a comparable ratio (7.4 to 1), while larger neighbors like Killingly High School, Plainfield High School, and The Woodstock Academy operate with far fewer staff per student. About 41% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, placing the school in the moderate-poverty range.

Academically, Tourtellotte sits in the lower-middle tier of Connecticut high schools, with a 2-star rating and a statewide rank in the 34th percentile. On the 2025–2026 SAT math exam, 20.6% of 11th graders met proficiency, below the state average of 31.3% but ahead of Plainfield High School (7.0%), H. H. Ellis Technical High School (11.8%), and Putnam High School (15.3%). Science scores are volatile: the school matched the state average in 2024–2025 with 47.8% proficiency, then dropped to 27.3% the following year, likely reflecting the small cohort size. Notably, no English Language Arts SAT score was reported, making it hard to assess literacy performance.

The most encouraging trends are in graduation and attendance. The graduation rate climbed from 80.0% in 2020–2021 to about 90% in 2024–2025, now comparable to Plainfield High School (89.5%) and Putnam High School (90.3%) but below The Woodstock Academy (97.7%) and H. H. Ellis Technical High School (98.1%). Chronic absenteeism has fallen by half, from 39.3% in 2021–2022 to 19.3% in 2025–2026, though it remains slightly above the state average of 16.4%. While the school has improved these non-academic indicators, test scores have not shown a sustained upward trend, and the high spending per pupil has not yet translated into standout academic results.

What people are saying

by a student
Tuesday, July 19, 2011

Tourtellotte Memorial Highschool has an incompetant staff mainly consisting of the school's Principal. They show little respect towards the students that attend the school and enforce ridiculous rules. For example, no student can carry a water bottle around and will be given detention if caught. It jeperdizes the safety of school athletes who become severly dehydrated on hot days when the temperatures exceed 90 degrees. Close Quote
