O'Connell School was cited for failing to make adequate yearly progress in both math and reading in the new list of Connecticut schools that are "in need of improvement."
In addition, subgroups within some schools also landed Edgewood School, South Side School and Northeast Middle School among the 315 Connecticut schools identified today as failing to meet federal No Child Left Behind Act benchmarks for at least two consecutive years, according to the Associated Press.
At Edgewood and Northeast, subgroups fell short in math and reading. At South Side, subgroups were short in reading. Subgroups are special education or minorities.
Details are not yet available.
