High Schools in New Milford School District

The New Milford School District in Connecticut is home to a single high school, New Milford High School. While the school has some positive attributes, such as a relatively high percentage of students proficient in English Language Arts, it also faces challenges in areas like math proficiency and declining statewide rankings.

New Milford High School has an enrollment of 1,247 students, with a diverse student body that is 71.05% White, 3.45% African American, 20.45% Hispanic, 3.21% Asian, and a small percentage of other racial groups. The school's academic performance is uneven, with 65.7% of 11th-grade students proficient or better in SAT/English Language Arts, but only 23.9% proficient or better in SAT/Math, which is significantly below the state average of 29.5%. The school's performance in NGSS/Science for 11th-grade students was also slightly below the state average.

The school's financial and resource allocation appear to be relatively strong, with the district spending $16,023 per student and a low student-to-teacher ratio of 11.9. However, the school's statewide ranking has declined in recent years, dropping from 52nd out of 139 Connecticut high schools in 2021-2022 to 71st out of 145 in 2023-2024. This suggests that further analysis and targeted interventions may be necessary to address the underlying issues and improve the overall academic performance and outcomes for the school's students.
