Summary

North Windham School is an elementary school in North Windham, CT, serving 445 students in grades K-4 within the Windham School District. The school serves a high-poverty community, with about 80% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch — a higher rate than most nearby schools such as Mansfield Elementary School (32%), Lebanon Elementary School (25%), and Horace W. Porter School (22%). Statewide, North Windham ranked in the 15th percentile of Connecticut elementary schools in 2025-26, a slight improvement from its 7th percentile ranking in 2021-22.

Academically, most proficiency rates at North Windham are below both district and state averages, but there is a notable bright spot: 4th grade math. In the most recent testing year, 38.8% of 4th graders scored proficient, well above the district average of 29.3% and close to the 42.9% at Charles H. Barrows STEM Academy, a same-district school with lower poverty. By contrast, 3rd grade math proficiency was just 17%, and 3rd grade ELA was 15.6%. Scores at North Windham can be volatile from year to year, making it difficult to identify consistent trends. It's also worth noting that nearby higher-performing schools like Mansfield Elementary School, Lebanon Elementary School, Franklin Elementary School, and Horace W. Porter School post much higher proficiency rates, but they also serve far fewer economically disadvantaged students.

One of the most encouraging trends is the school's dramatic reduction in chronic absenteeism, which has dropped from 37.8% in 2021-22 to 20.3% in 2025-26 — now better than the district average of 23.6%, though still above the state rate of 16.4%. This improvement is significant because attendance is closely tied to academic outcomes. However, parents should be aware that North Windham spends less per student ($16,713) than most neighboring districts and has a higher student-teacher ratio (12.0) than many of its peers. Despite these resource constraints, the school's improving attendance and relative strength in 4th grade math suggest that continued progress is possible.

My child first year at this school and its very unorganized no lunch menus no schedules I drop off and pick up and the staff was telling me to wait here then some were else . The teacher is very nice and the assistant but it didn't seem like the teacher knew who her assistant was. No teachers in the classrooms in the morning waiting by the bus they should have the teachers assist helping the children off the bus. Close Quote
