Summary

Glastonbury/East Hartford Magnet School is a regional elementary magnet school in Glastonbury, CT, serving 456 students in grades PK–5 and operated by the Capitol Region Education Council rather than the Glastonbury School District. Despite its Glastonbury address, its performance looks very different from the town's neighborhood schools. In 2025–2026, the school ranked 361st of 491 Connecticut elementary schools (26th percentile, 1 star) — an improvement from 413th the prior year, but still below the statewide middle. Nearby Hebron Avenue School, Hopewell School, Buttonball Lane School, and Naubuc School all rank in the top third of the state.

Academically, the school trails state averages in nearly every grade and subject. Fifth-grade math proficiency is just 20.7% versus 45.8% statewide, declining from 42.9% in 3rd grade — a sign students are not building math skills as they advance. Chronic absenteeism affects 25.9% of students, compared with 16.4% statewide and under 9% at most Glastonbury elementary schools. The poverty rate (63.6% free or reduced-price lunch) is far closer to Joseph O. Goodwin School in East Hartford than to Glastonbury's neighborhood schools, where poverty ranges from 7% to 31%.

The school spends more per pupil than any nearby school — $18,501 annually — yet outcomes are substantially lower. There are bright spots: African American students ranked in the 81st percentile statewide in 2022–2023, and Hispanic students ranked in the 57th percentile in 2025–2026. Compared with Riverside Magnet School at Goodwin University, a similar magnet with comparable poverty and absenteeism, this school outperforms it in nearly every category. Still, the data paint a picture of a high-poverty, high-absenteeism school facing serious academic challenges despite its Glastonbury location and above-average spending.

Sunday, January 10, 2021

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
