School Results at a Glance — All 169 Connecticut Towns

Every state measure of student results on one sortable table — test scores, growth, SAT and attendance for each town's resident students — with each town's rank on each.

← All statewide rankings

Picking a town highlights it in every chart and table on this page, and the highlight follows you to the other ranking pages. Clear the box to remove it.

Read this before ranking towns: these figures describe the students who live in each town, wherever they go to school, and they are a snapshot of one school year. They are not a grade of the town’s schools. Test results track family circumstances closely — on this site’s own model, six family-background variables explain most of the difference in the state’s achievement index between districts — so a ranking on raw results largely sorts towns by income and student need. The results-vs-demographics page holds those circumstances constant, and every town’s own School Results page compares its district with fifteen districts serving similar students. Rank 1 is the lowest figure on every chart: a sort order, not a verdict. Small towns can move several places on one year’s cohort.

Every measure, every town

Each cell is the town's figure with its rank (#1 = lowest) among the towns with a published figure for that measure. Click a column heading to sort by it; click again to reverse. The figures describe students who live in the town, wherever they attend school, for the school year named in each heading; the list below the table says what each column measures.

“not published” = the state withheld every school-type figure for the town (fewer than 20 resident students tested in any one type), or the town's resident students have no school type that takes that test. A rank is a position, not a grade.

Source: CSDE EdSight Resident Town Dashboard, all students, by town of residence and school type, via the resident block of school_performance_page.json (cut from edsight/resident_town.json). Each town's figure is the mean across its school types with a published value, weighted by resident enrollment in each. Every measure has its own page, linked from its heading, with the chart, the school types behind each figure and the full method.

What each column measures

The test measures track family circumstances closely (on this site’s model, six family-background variables explain most of the variation in the state’s achievement index between districts). The results-vs-demographics ranking shows how far each district's results sit from what its students' demographics predict, and each town's own School Results page compares its district with fifteen districts serving similar students. Spending is on the per-student page; this page does not combine the two.
