Posted February 1, 2011

a broad range of academic levels to accomodate every student's needs. my daughter has since graduated from The Morgan School and gone onto a private college with high academic standards. within the college student body, she and other Morgan grads were better prepared for college work incl. writing than students who had come from expensive private Prep-schools. The students in the Clinton school system really are offered an excellent education.

I am the parent of three Morgan Alumni. All three of my children graduated from Morgan in the past five years, were admitted into their top-choice schools, and are regularly on the dean's list at their respective colleges. Morgan prepared each of my kids academically however, in my opinion, Morgan's best quality is the social cohesiveness of the student body!!!

My daughter attends Morgan High School and is in the Honors Program. We're blown away by the quality of education she is getting. She works hard, (3-4 hours of homework a night) and we're certain she'll be well prepared for college.

The teachers and atmosphere are great, but what really made us move to Clinton and send our son to Morgan was so he could experience the traditon and legacy left by the 1987 Class SS State Football Champions.

We have moved around a lot and my son has always had a hard time adjusting to new teachers, let alone everything else that goes with moving. The teachers a Morgan went out of thier way to get him up to speed and to the same level as the other students.

About the tests


In 2008-2009 Connecticut used the Connecticut Academic Performance Test (CAPT) to test students' skills in reading, writing, science and math in grade 10. The CAPT is a standards-based test, which means it measures how well students are mastering specific skills defined for each grade by the state of Connecticut.
