Middletown Meets State Benchmarks on 2011 CMTs

Middletown Superintendent Michael Frechette confirmed today that Middletown public school students exceeded all State benchmarks on the 2011 Connecticut Mastery Tests (CMTs). "These results show the focus and hard work of our teachers, students and administrators for the last six years," Frechette commented.

The Hartford Courant has an online searchable database that gives the testing proficiency by year, grade and subject. Click here to go to the database.

For No Child Left Behind purposes, Middletown won't know its status compared to federal benchmarks for a few more weeks. However, if Middletown reaches proficiency again this year (it did in 2010), there is a chance Middletown will be removed from the federal "Needs Improvement" list.

Superintendent Frechette stated that no matter what Middletown's federal status ends up being, "there's no turning back now," and that plans to continue to close Middletown's achievement gap will move forward.
