Best Elementary Schools in Connecticut for Female Students

Check out our new feature available only on SchoolDigger: rankings for different groups of students in Connecticut!

Every year, the Connecticut Department of Education shares test results for various student groups in each school. We use these results to find out which schools do best for each group and list them from the best to the worst.

Additionally, we also compare the performance of the subgroup to the performance of the school as a whole. This makes it easy to see if, for example, Female students are overperforming or underperforming their peers in each school.

JUST IN! Connecticut NGSS and SBAC test scores and updated rankings for the 2022-23 school year were recently posted to SchoolDigger!

Year after year, SchoolDigger is always the first to publish Connecticut test scores and rankings. Other sites use stale test score data that are several years old! Be in the know with the very latest performance metrics.
