Posted April 18, 2004

My daughter goes to Norwich High and I have seen a drastic improvement since she started. At a much larger school she was failing and was a statistic not a student. Now she is a student, teachers know her by name and she has made honors two quarters in a row. Attitudes have changed, language has cleared up and home life is so much easier. She even wants to get up in the morning to go to school. Teachers take the time to know the student and try to make them the center of their learning process.

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.
