Plans for Growth
In fall 2014, Common Ground launched construction on a new school building — including two new science labs, an art studio, and a half-court gym — that will allow us to expand our student body and offer more challenging courses.
Our Results
Common Ground is a CT School of Distinction and a national Green Ribbon School. Our 4-year graduation rates are 5 points above the state average. Over the last 6 years, our students have made some of the state’s largest test score gains. 97% of our last graduating class was accepted to college.
Our Curriculum
Common Ground’s curriculum mixes high academic standards with active, authentic learning. Imagine studying …
- Math while you … explore species diversity in West Rock Park
- Spanish while you … collect recipes and stories from community elders
- English while you … perform Shakespeare alongside professional actors
