Elementary Schools in Guilford School District


Summary:

The Guilford School District in Connecticut is home to four exceptional elementary schools: Guilford Lakes School, Melissa Jones School, A.W. Cox School, and Calvin Leete School. These schools serve students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade and are known for their strong academic performance and commitment to providing a well-rounded education.

Among the standout schools in the district, Calvin Leete School consistently ranks as one of the top elementary schools in Connecticut, earning a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger. With exceptional academic results, including 91.7% of 4th graders proficient or better in English Language Arts and 79.2% in Mathematics, Calvin Leete School sets the bar high. Additionally, the school's low student-teacher ratio of 10.9 suggests a more personalized learning environment.

While the Guilford School District as a whole outperforms the state average in both English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency, the district faces a challenge with high chronic absenteeism rates across all four elementary schools. This is an area that warrants further investigation and targeted interventions to ensure all students have the opportunity to thrive academically. Overall, the Guilford School District's elementary schools demonstrate a strong commitment to academic excellence and a well-rounded education for their students.
