Summary

Glastonbury/East Hartford Magnet School is an elementary school serving grades PK-5 with 460 students, located in Glastonbury, CT and part of the Capitol Region Education Council district. Despite its status as a magnet school, the school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Connecticut elementary schools over the past 10 years and struggles with academic performance that is significantly below state and district averages.

The school's 3rd-grade students, for example, had only 16.1% proficiency in ELA in 2024-2025, compared to 46.9% statewide and 30.1% for the district. Similar gaps are seen in math and science. This underperformance is particularly concerning given the school's high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, at 60% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. The school also has a diverse student population, with significant percentages of African American and Hispanic students.

Interestingly, Glastonbury and Wethersfield, two nearby school districts, consistently rank in the top half of Connecticut schools and have much higher academic proficiency rates. This suggests that the magnet school model may not be effectively serving the needs of Glastonbury/East Hartford Magnet School's diverse student population, despite the additional resources and smaller class sizes.

This school has dropped over 140 places in the state rankings in the last 4 years. A good principal jumped ship. The present administration is of questionable competence. Get out! Do not consider. Close Quote

The school is headed in a steep nosedive. And the administration is in denial. Close Quote
