See how your Connecticut school scored on state accountability ratings

Each year, one number offers parents, students, policymakers and residents alike an impression of how well Connecticut schools and districts are doing. The scores come from the Next Generation Accountability System results, which were released Tuesday and build on the late August release of statewide assessment results for the last school year. Those results showed that Connecticut students made gains in English language arts, mathematics and science performance but have yet to meet pre-COVID levels. The accountability results give a more holistic look, showcasing how well Connecticut schools support student success and prepare them for life after graduation. Connecticut's Next Generation Accountability System gives scores to schools and districts based on a set of 12 indicators: academic achievement, academic growth, chronic absenteeism, college and career readiness, high school…

Connecticut's political map has changed. Here's what it could mean for the election.

The polls suggest that incumbent Gov. Ned Lamont (D) is well-positioned to be elected to a third consecutive term in next week's election.

This state, like other states in New England, has in recent decades voted for Democratic presidents and Republican governors. But, over that same period, the electorate has shifted to the left. By then, though, Connecticut was consistently voting for Democrats to run the country. In 2010, for the first time in two decades, the state narrowly elected a Democrat as governor, despite the strong Republican performance nationally.

Does Your Car Make Minnesota’s Most-Ticketed List?

Some cars are built to turn heads, while others apparently have a knack for attracting the attention of law enforcement, too. A study looked at millions of car insurance applications to uncover which 10 car brands have the highest percentage of drivers who've been caught speeding, and you might be surprised by which cars made the list here in Minnesota. Here in the Land of 10,000 Lakes, while there are many forms of public or mass transit (like the daily Amtrak train route linking the Twin Cities with Chicago), we love driving-- and we love our vehicles, right? There are a LOT of licensed drivers currently behind the wheel here in Minnesota. According to Statista, 4,143,272 citizens hold a current driver's license here in the North Star State. Of course, many of the over 4 million licensed drivers are often found on the interstates, highways, and roads that crisscross our fair state.…
