Scotland’s public schools score below 66% of Connecticut districts on tests and graduation

74% of Scotland’s students graduate on time, below the Connecticut average (88%). The grade covers the two public school districts serving Scotland, from kindergarten through graduation, on state tests and graduation. Each state writes its own tests, so this is the one TownRatings grade compared within Connecticut, not nationally.
