Summary

Metacomet School is an elementary school located in Bloomfield, CT, serving grades 3-4 with a total enrollment of 196 students. The school has faced challenges, including low academic performance, high chronic absenteeism, and a high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds.

Metacomet School's academic performance, as measured by SBAC proficiency rates, is significantly below the state and district averages. For example, in 2024-2025, only 32.1% of 4th-grade students were proficient in English Language Arts and Mathematics, compared to the state averages of 51.4% and 51.4%, respectively. The school also has consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 13.4% to 20.0% over the past few years, which is much higher than the state average. Additionally, Metacomet School has a high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with 58.3% to 61.22% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch over the past few years, also much higher than the state average.

While Metacomet School's overall performance is concerning, it stands out in its performance for certain student subgroups. For example, the school's African American students consistently rank among the top 5-2 schools in the state, indicating that the school may be effectively supporting this population. Nearby schools, such as Laurel Literacy Academy and John F. Kennedy School, tend to have higher academic proficiency rates, lower chronic absenteeism, and a lower percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds compared to Metacomet School.
