Redding School District

The Redding School District in Connecticut is home to two standout schools, Redding Elementary School and John Read Middle School, both of which have earned 5-star ratings from SchoolDigger and rank among the top schools in the state.

Redding Elementary School is ranked 50th out of 497 Connecticut elementary schools, with consistently high performance on state assessments, particularly in English Language Arts and Mathematics. The school serves a relatively affluent student population, with only 8.77% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. John Read Middle School is even more impressive, ranking 14th out of 250 Connecticut middle schools and also boasting excellent test scores and a low percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (8.86%).

Both schools benefit from higher-than-average spending per student, around $25,000, as well as lower student-teacher ratios, with Redding Elementary at 10.8 and John Read Middle at 9.3. These factors likely contribute to the schools' academic success, which is further reflected in their 5-star ratings from SchoolDigger. While the schools serve a predominantly white student population, the Redding School District as a whole appears to be providing a high-quality education to its students, making it an attractive option for families in the area.
