Summary

Wells Road Intermediate School is a public elementary school in Granby, Connecticut, serving 379 students in grades 3-5. The school is part of the Granby School District, which is ranked 46 out of 156 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Wells Road Intermediate School consistently outperforms the state average on SBAC/English Language Arts and SBAC/Mathematics assessments, with proficiency rates ranging from 58.6% to 71.2% in ELA and 49.2% to 66.9% in Math, compared to the state averages of 46.9% to 52.5% in ELA and 44.9% to 52.2% in Math. The school's performance is particularly strong for special education, low socioeconomic status, and disabled student subgroups, ranking in the top 10-20% of Connecticut elementary schools for those subgroups. However, the school has seen a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 7.7% in 2022-2023 to 17.7% in 2023-2024, which is an area of concern.

While Wells Road Intermediate School outperforms other schools in the Granby School District, it lags behind some of the higher-performing schools in neighboring districts, such as Central School and Squadron Line School in the Simsbury School District, which consistently rank among the top elementary schools in Connecticut. The school's per-student spending of $14,468 in 2018-2019 is slightly higher than the Granby district average but lower than some nearby schools, and its student-teacher ratio of 13.4 in 2023-2024 is on par with the nearby schools.
