The Connecticut Coalition for Achievement Now (
ConnCAN) recognized Macdonough School has one of its 2008 Success Story Schools for gains made on the 2008 Connecticut Mastery Test. The school was listed as the third most improved school in the state for performance gains by students and the fourth most improved school overall.
Representatives from ConnCAN will be visiting Macdonough School to interview people involved in the success for a short documentary on schools in Connecticut that are closing the achievement gap.
