Summary:
The city of Barkhamsted, Connecticut is home to a single standout elementary school, Barkhamsted Elementary School, which serves grades K-6 and is part of the Barkhamsted School District. This high-performing school consistently ranks in the top 25-35% of Connecticut elementary schools, with exceptional academic results that exceed state averages in English Language Arts and Mathematics.
Barkhamsted Elementary School's proficiency rates are significantly higher than the state, with 70.4% of 3rd-graders proficient in ELA (vs. 45.5% statewide) and 75% of 6th-graders proficient in Math (vs. 39.6% statewide). The school also benefits from a low student-teacher ratio of 10:1 and higher-than-average per-student funding of $19,368. These resources and strong academic outcomes make Barkhamsted Elementary a standout institution within the Barkhamsted School District and the state of Connecticut.
However, the school's student population is relatively homogeneous, with 91.3% of students identifying as white. This lack of diversity may raise questions about the school's inclusivity and ability to serve a diverse student body. Nevertheless, Barkhamsted Elementary School's consistent improvement in its statewide ranking over the past three years, from 173 out of 538 schools to 110 out of 491, demonstrates its commitment to providing a high-quality education and enhancing student outcomes.
