We just moved to Shelton and my daughter started 3rd at Mohegan. I am very grateful to the PTO, the Teacher's, Counselors and the Principal of the school for making the transition smooth. It's a wonderful community.

My daughter is completing 6th grade at mohegan this year and i am very melancholy about it. It's been such a pleasurable experience. She's made so many new friends that I know will carry over to SIS, but nothing will ever be the same as Mohegan. We love it!

We are looking to move to a bigger house. Our wish list has one huge item. That is that we stay in the Mohegan district. We love this school! The teachers and all the staff are well trained and compassionate. They are helpful and supportive. They are everything you look for in what your child's education is made up of!

I have 2 children in this school and think that this is a wonderful school. The PTO is a great group of people who work hard for all the children. Everyone from the office staff to the teachers work hard to make sure that the education that your children are getting is top notch. I would recommend this school to anyone who is looking for their children to get a good education.

About the tests

In 2008-2009 Connecticut used the Connecticut Mastery Test (CMT) to test students' skills in reading, writing and math in grades 3 through 8, and in science in grades 5 and 8. The CMT 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.
