While no longer being utilized, the CMTs remain some of the best data we have available on aggregate school performance. There is clearly a huge gap for those on free and reduced lunch and the overall rate in CT; Hartford, New Britain and East Hartford are significantly lower than the overall CT rate.

One important factor in school performance and graduation is chronic absenteeism. Hartford and New Britain have significantly higher rates of chronic absenteeism than CT as a whole.

Another important factor in school performance is the degree of parental engagement, which can be more difficult in single parent families. Hartford and Manchester’s rate of single parent families is considerably higher than in CT overall.

Another important factor in school performance is lack of stability of place. Hartford, New Britain, and Manchester have a significantly higher rate of movement than the CT overall rate or the US overall rate.

However, when graduates rates in Hartford, for example, for 2013 are examined more closely, challenges clearly remain. There is a substantial difference between male and female graduation rates, and graduation rates for those eligible for free lunch, and those in ELL or Special Education.

"The percentage of residents that have at least an associates degree in CT is higher than the US, but the rate in Hartford, New Britain, and Manchester is lower than the CT rate."

This, of course, has a direct impact on the ability of residents to find work and achieve self-sufficiency.
