Summary

Andover Elementary School is a small, highly regarded elementary school in Andover, CT, serving 239 students in grades PK through 6 as part of the top-ranked Andover School District. The school earned a 4-star rating and ranked 82nd out of 491 Connecticut elementary schools in 2025–2026, a significant jump from 151st the year before. Academically, Andover students perform well above state averages, particularly in math: 79.4% of 4th graders met proficiency in math compared to the state average of 52.1%, and 76.5% met proficiency in ELA versus the state average of 50.9%. Third-grade math proficiency (76.0%) also outpaced nearby schools like Hebron Elementary School (66.3%) and George Hersey Robertson School (63.2%).

Beyond test scores, Andover stands out for its very low chronic absenteeism rate of just 4.3% in 2025–2026, compared to the state average of 16.4%. The school also invests heavily in its students, with per-pupil spending of $23,416—the highest among all nearby comparison schools—and a student–teacher ratio of 10.7 to 1, among the lowest in the region. For context, Bolton Center School spends about $16,338 per student, and Hebron Elementary School spends $17,375. The Andover School District itself is ranked 26th out of 153 districts in Connecticut, higher than neighboring districts such as Coventry School District (#42), Bolton School District (#57), and Hebron School District (#63).

About 28% of Andover students qualify for free or reduced lunch, a moderate level of economic diversity that is higher than some nearby suburban schools like Hebron Elementary School (16.8%) but far lower than urban peers like Lake Street School (42.1%) or W. B. Sweeney School (84.4%). Given this profile, Andover's combination of strong test scores, high attendance, small class sizes, and generous per-pupil funding points to a well-supported learning environment. While the school's small size means year-to-year results can fluctuate with individual cohorts, the overall pattern is clearly positive, making Andover Elementary one of the strongest elementary options in eastern Connecticut.
