Summary:
The East Granby School District contains one middle school, East Granby Middle School, which serves grades 6 through 8 in a small, suburban Connecticut community with a total enrollment of just 218 students. Because there is only one middle school in the district, all school-level data is identical to district-level figures, so parents should interpret these results as the full picture for the area.
East Granby Middle School is a high-performing school with a current 4-star rating and a rank of 37th out of 258 Connecticut middle schools, placing it in the 86th percentile. The school has improved dramatically over the past few years, climbing from 71st in 2023–2024 to 43rd in 2024–2025 and now 37th in 2025–2026. Academically, the school excels in English Language Arts, with proficiency rates ranging from 71.9% to 79.5% across grades 6–8, well above the state average of roughly 51%. Science is also a standout subject, with 74.4% of 8th graders proficient compared to the state’s 50.9%. Math scores are somewhat lower but still exceed state averages; the strongest math performance is in 7th grade at 65.6% proficient, while 8th grade math dips to 55.1%, showing a potential area for continued focus.
Beyond test scores, the school benefits from very low chronic absenteeism of just 7.4%, less than half the state rate of 16.4%, which likely supports consistent learning. The student-teacher ratio of 10.2:1 is favorable and allows for personalized attention, a common advantage of small schools. About 21.1% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively low-poverty population, and per-student spending is $19,781. While no intra-district comparison is possible, East Granby Middle School consistently outperforms state averages across all subjects, making it an excellent choice for families seeking a strong, supportive middle school environment.
