Summary:

Teachers' Memorial Global Studies Magnet Middle School is a public magnet middle school in Norwich, Connecticut, serving 442 students in grades 6-8. The school is part of the Norwich School District, which is ranked 153 out of 158 districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite its magnet school status, Teachers' Memorial Global Studies Magnet Middle School consistently underperforms academically compared to the state and nearby schools. The school's SBAC/NGSS test scores are significantly lower than the state averages, with only 15.8% to 26.3% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts, and 9% to 12.2% proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to state averages of 48.1% to 49.5% and 38.2% to 41.5%, respectively. The school's 8th grade NGSS/Science proficiency rate is also low at 16.5%, compared to the state average of 48.1%. This poor academic performance has resulted in the school ranking in the bottom quarter of Connecticut middle schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

When compared to other nearby middle schools, such as Kelly STEAM Magnet Middle School and Bennie Dover Jackson Middle School, Teachers' Memorial Global Studies Magnet Middle School consistently underperforms in both English Language Arts and Mathematics. The school's high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, ranging from 65.32% to 75.34% receiving free or reduced-price lunch, and the Norwich School District's low overall ranking may be contributing factors to the school's academic struggles.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
