Willington School District

The Willington School District in Connecticut consists of two schools: Center School, an elementary school, and Hall Memorial School, a middle school. While both schools have a majority white student population, Center School has a more diverse racial makeup, with higher percentages of Hispanic and African American students compared to Hall Memorial School.

Based on the available data, Hall Memorial School appears to be the stronger performer of the two schools. It has a higher statewide ranking with a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger, compared to Center School's 2-star rating. Hall Memorial School also consistently outperforms the district and state averages in English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency rates across multiple grade levels. Additionally, Hall Memorial School has a higher per-student spending of $21,999 and a lower student-teacher ratio of 7.6, compared to Center School's $18,727 per-student spending and 10.7 student-teacher ratio.

However, there are some potential equity concerns to consider. Center School has a higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (45.05%) compared to Hall Memorial School (39.2%), and its 3rd-grade math proficiency rate (40.5%) is below the state average of 49.8%. These factors suggest that the district may need to examine resource allocation and educational strategies to ensure equitable outcomes for all students, regardless of their socioeconomic background or the school they attend.
