Summary

Reggio Magnet School of the Arts is an elementary school located in Avon, Connecticut, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 511 students. The school is part of the Capitol Region Education Council district, which is ranked 145 out of 156 districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger. Despite its magnet school status, Reggio Magnet School of the Arts has consistently been ranked in the bottom half of Connecticut elementary schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past several years.

Reggio Magnet School of the Arts consistently underperforms compared to the state and its district averages on standardized tests, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics for grades 3-5 ranging from 22.6% to 37.7% proficient, compared to the state averages of 44.9% to 52.2%. The school also has high rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 17.7% to 32.8% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state average. Additionally, Reggio Magnet School of the Arts struggles to support its student subgroups, with low rankings for female, male, Hispanic, special education, and low socioeconomic status students compared to other Connecticut elementary schools.

Interestingly, the nearby schools, such as Tootin' Hills School, Union School, and Roaring Brook School, significantly outperform Reggio Magnet School of the Arts on academic measures, with proficiency rates in the 60-90% range, compared to Reggio's 20-40% range. These nearby schools also have lower rates of chronic absenteeism and serve student populations with lower percentages of free and reduced-price lunch recipients. Despite its magnet school status, Reggio Magnet School of the Arts does not appear to be providing the expected benefits, and its performance and demographics are more similar to a traditional public school.
