Summary:
The Newtown School District in Connecticut is home to 4 high-performing elementary schools that serve students from pre-kindergarten through 4th grade. These schools consistently rank among the top in the state, with Head O'Meadow Elementary School and Hawley Elementary School standing out as the district's standout performers.
Head O'Meadow Elementary and Hawley Elementary have consistently high rankings, with 4- and 5-star ratings from SchoolDigger, and impressive test scores that exceed state averages in both English Language Arts and Math. These schools serve relatively affluent student populations, with low free/reduced lunch rates. In contrast, Sandy Hook Elementary has a higher free/reduced lunch rate, indicating a more economically diverse student body.

The district's elementary schools excel in Math instruction, with several schools significantly outperforming the state average. While the schools generally provide a high-quality education, the variation in student populations and economic diversity suggests potential equity concerns that could be further explored to ensure all students have access to the same educational opportunities.
