Summary

Ana Grace Academy of the Arts is a public magnet elementary school serving grades PK-8 in Bloomfield, CT, part of the Capitol Region Education Council (CREC) district. With 856 students, the school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Connecticut elementary schools, currently holding a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating it is performing below average compared to other schools in the state.

Ana Grace Academy's student performance lags significantly behind state and district averages across all grade levels in both English Language Arts and Mathematics. For example, in 2024-2025, only 23.5% of 3rd graders were proficient in ELA, compared to 46.9% statewide and 30.1% in the CREC district. The school also struggles with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 17.7% to 33.5% in recent years. This is in stark contrast to the high-performing Simsbury School District, which has several schools ranked in the top 100 in the state.

Despite spending more per student ($19,804 in 2018-2019) than the Simsbury district schools ($15,310-$18,227 per student), Ana Grace Academy's performance has steadily declined over the past several years, dropping from a 3-star rating in 2016-2017 to a 1-star rating in recent years. This suggests the school faces unique challenges in supporting its student population, which includes a high percentage of economically disadvantaged and minority students, and will require a comprehensive, multi-faceted approach to address the educational inequities within the region.
