Summary

Dr. Franklin H. Mayberry School is an elementary school located in East Hartford, Connecticut, serving 322 students from kindergarten to 5th grade. The school is part of the East Hartford School District, which is ranked 130 out of 156 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. Unfortunately, Dr. Franklin H. Mayberry School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Connecticut elementary schools, receiving a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past several years.

Academically, the school underperforms compared to the district and state averages. In the 2024-2025 school year, only 23.6% of 3rd-grade students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 37.9% in the district and 46.9% statewide. The school also struggles with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 17.7% to 27.1% over the past few years, significantly higher than the state average. Additionally, the school's performance on standardized tests is particularly low for certain student subgroups, such as Hispanic students and students with special needs.

However, there are some bright spots within the East Hartford School District. Nearby schools like Joseph O. Goodwin School and Governor William Pitkin School perform significantly better on standardized tests and have higher SchoolDigger ratings. This suggests that there may be opportunities for Dr. Franklin H. Mayberry School to learn from and collaborate with these higher-performing schools to drive improvement in student outcomes.
