In a recent report, Windham Tech made the top ten list of high schools in the state ranking fourth in school improvement on CAPT test scores. The report was published by ConnCAN, a private group whose mission is to bring Connecticut together to provide every child with a great public school. They have published various reports and studies over the past few years. This year they have done a rating of schools based on a comparison of the results from the 2007 and 2008 CMTs and CAPT across five categories: Performance Gains, Most Improved, African American scores, Hispanic scores and low-income scores.

In addition, the Connecticut Technical High School System (CTHSS) was recognized for “beating the state average for improvement (5.8 percentage points compared to the state’s 4.1).”  “Low-income students at technical schools also scored higher (24.3 met the state goal) than low-income students in the state of CT (19.3 met the state goal) for the second year in a row.”

CTHSS Superintendent Dr. Abigail Hughes said about the report, "All of our teachers and administrators are working hard to improve student learning and it is wonderful when an outside group recognizes the results of this work."
