Philip R. Smith Elementary School
November 15, 2024
To say I’m proud of our amazing school would be an understatement. The “State’s School Report Card” was released last week. This is called the Next Generation Accountability System and assesses how schools are doing across the state of CT. In addition, this data determines schools across the state as Schools of Distinction. This “report card” looks at SBAC results (student growth and performance and closing the achievement gap), student attendance, LAS Links results, Gr. 4 PE and factors in other criteria. I’m pleased to share how PRS has done over the past several years…

As you can see PRS has been very consistent over the past several years. To put this in perspective, we have been the only school in district that has been consistently recognized as a School of Distinction over consecutive years.
So much for each of us to be proud of! Our team of educators here, our amazing students, coupled with the support of our parental community has made a positive impact on our student growth and performance. As always, thank you for being such an active and important part of your child's growth, development and academic performance. 😊 Michelle
