Summary

Juliet W. Long School is an elementary school serving grades 3-5 in Gales Ferry, Connecticut, part of the Ledyard School District. With 255 students, the school consistently outperforms the district and state in standardized test scores, particularly in English Language Arts. However, the school faces challenges with rising chronic absenteeism, which is higher than the district and state averages.

Juliet W. Long School performs relatively well for its low-income students, ranking 27th out of 77 Connecticut elementary schools in 2024-2025. But the school struggles with its white student population, ranking 213th out of 248 schools that year. Interestingly, the school spends significantly less per student ($9,008 in 2018-2019) compared to the nearby Gales Ferry School ($17,745) and Thomas W. Mahan School ($17,824).
