Summary:
Andover School District is a single-school district in Andover, CT, home to just one elementary school — Andover Elementary School — which serves students in grades PK–6 with an enrollment of 239 students. Because the district consists of only this one school, the district and school metrics are identical throughout the data, making it easy for parents to evaluate the local educational landscape.
Andover Elementary stands out academically, ranking 82 out of 491 Connecticut elementary schools for 2025–2026 (83rd percentile, 4 stars) and lifting its district to 26 out of 153 districts. Mathematics is a clear strength: in 2025–2026, 76% of 3rd graders and 79.4% of 4th graders scored proficient in math, outpacing the state by roughly 24–27 percentage points. English Language Arts performance is solid but more variable, with 4th grade ELA jumping from 57.7% proficient in 2024–2025 to 76.5% in 2025–2026, while 5th grade ELA dipped from 74.1% to 68.0%. Chronic absenteeism is remarkably low at just 4.3% — less than one-third of the state rate of 16.4%.
The school also offers favorable learning conditions, including a 10.7:1 student-teacher ratio and per-student spending of $23,416 (2018–2019 data, so interpret cautiously). About 28% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, yet the school consistently outperforms Connecticut state averages across nearly every grade and subject. The school's ranking improved significantly year-over-year, climbing from 151st (3 stars) in 2024–2025 to 82nd (4 stars) in 2025–2026 — though with only 239 students, rankings can shift notably with individual cohorts. Overall, Andover Elementary is a strong, well-resourced school with impressive math proficiency, excellent attendance, and small class sizes, making it a compelling choice for families in the Andover area.
