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.
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.
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
- Reading and math, share proficient — resident students in grades 3–8 who met or exceeded the standard on the Smarter Balanced tests. Page and charts.
- Reading and math growth — the average share of a one-year growth target that resident students in grades 4–8 reached; 100 would mean every student hit an ambitious target. The state measure least tied to family income. Page and charts.
- SAT reading and math — the average section score (200–800) of resident eleventh-graders; Connecticut tests every public-school student. Only school types with a high school carry a figure. Page and charts.
- Chronically absent — resident students, all grades, who missed 10% or more of their enrolled days for any reason. Page and charts.
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.
