Summary:
The Putnam School District in Connecticut has one elementary school, Putnam Elementary School, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 4th grade. The school's performance and characteristics provide a mixed picture, with some areas of strength and others that could use improvement.
Putnam Elementary School has a diverse student population, with 78.11% White and 17.69% Hispanic students. However, the school's academic performance on SBAC assessments in English Language Arts and Mathematics is consistently below the district and state averages for 3rd and 4th graders. Additionally, over 57% of the school's students are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high-need population. The school's per-student spending of $15,003 is higher than the national average, but it's unclear how these funds are being allocated to support student learning.
Putnam Elementary School's statewide ranking has fluctuated in recent years, ranging from 280 out of 491 Connecticut elementary schools in 2022-2023 to 320 out of 490 in 2021-2022, with a 2 out of 5 star rating from SchoolDigger. This suggests that the school is performing below average compared to other elementary schools in the state, and it may warrant further investigation into the root causes of the school's relatively low performance to identify opportunities for improvement.
