Summary:
Windham School District in Connecticut has only one middle school, Windham Middle School, which serves students in grades 6-8. The school faces significant challenges, with consistently low academic performance and a student population that is predominantly economically disadvantaged.
Windham Middle School has a student population of 574, with a racial makeup that is 13.41% White, 3.83% African American, 79.62% Hispanic, 0.7% Asian, 0.35% Native American, and 2.09% two or more races. The school's statewide ranking has been consistently low, ranking between 196-215 out of 250 Connecticut middle schools over the past three years, with a 1-star rating out of 5 from SchoolDigger. Academic performance at the school is significantly below state averages across all grade levels and subject areas, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts ranging from 24.7% to 32% and in Mathematics from 13.7% to 15.9%, compared to state averages of 48.1% to 49.5% and 38.2% to 41.5%, respectively.
Despite the school's low academic performance, it has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 9.5 to 1, which is lower than the state average. Additionally, the school's per-student spending for the 2018-2019 school year was $16,392, which is higher than the state average. These factors suggest that the Windham School District is investing resources in the school, but the challenges faced by the student population may be too significant to overcome with the current approach.
