About Learning Clinic

Learning Clinic is a small high school located on Route 169 in rural Brooklyn, Connecticut, catering to students from grades 6 through 12. With an enrollment of just 30 students and a student-teacher ratio of 2.5:1, the school offers personalized attention that can be hard to find in larger institutions. Learning Clinic has twelve full-time equivalent teachers dedicated to supporting its small community of learners.

While the MySchoolScout rating for academic performance stands at 4.7 out of 10 and the state ranking is 126th out of 201 schools, it’s important to note that these metrics don’t fully capture the school's strengths. Learning Clinic focuses on fostering a supportive environment where each student can thrive and grow. The rural setting near the town of Windham provides a quiet backdrop for learning, allowing students to connect with nature and enjoy a close-knit community atmosphere.

This setting makes Learning Clinic a unique choice for families seeking a small, nurturing high school experience.

What Parents Should Know

With an enrollment of 30 students, Learning Clinic is a smaller school where families often find a close-knit community atmosphere. Smaller settings can mean more individual attention from teachers and staff, though they may offer fewer extracurricular options than larger schools.

With a student-teacher ratio of 2.5:1, Learning Clinic offers a notably low ratio compared to the national average. This typically means smaller class sizes and more opportunities for one-on-one interaction between students and teachers.

As a private school, Learning Clinic operates independently from the local public school district. Families considering this school should inquire about tuition costs, financial aid availability, and the admissions process. Private schools are not required to follow the same curriculum standards as public schools, which can be either an advantage or a consideration depending on your priorities.
