Summary:
The Plymouth School District in Connecticut is home to two elementary schools: Plymouth Center School and Harry S. Fisher Elementary School. These schools serve students from kindergarten through 5th grade and provide a range of educational opportunities within the district.
Based on the data analysis, Plymouth Center School stands out as the higher-performing school, with a 4-star statewide ranking and a lower percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. In contrast, Harry S. Fisher Elementary School has a lower 2-star ranking but outperforms the district and state averages in certain areas, such as 5th-grade English Language Arts and Science. Both schools, however, face challenges, as they perform below the state average on several standardized tests, particularly in English Language Arts.
The data also reveals that the Plymouth School District as a whole serves a relatively economically disadvantaged population, with around 47% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch across both elementary schools. This socioeconomic factor may contribute to the overall lower academic performance compared to the state average. Additionally, the schools have a relatively homogeneous student population, with a majority of White students, suggesting that promoting greater racial diversity and inclusion could be an area for the district to consider.
