Summary

Cromwell High School in Cromwell, CT, is a small public high school serving 515 students in grades 9–12 within the Cromwell School District. While the district as a whole ranks in the middle of Connecticut school districts, the high school is a clear standout: in 2025–2026 it ranked 27th of 133 high schools statewide (80th percentile, 4 stars), up from 54th the previous year.

Cromwell's biggest academic strength is English Language Arts, with 76.8% of 11th graders proficient on the 2025–2026 SAT—well above the state average of 55.3% and higher than nearby Rocky Hill High School (74.4%) and Berlin High School (71.8%). Science is also strong at 68.3% proficient, trailing only Glastonbury High School, Rocky Hill, and Berlin in the region. Math proficiency is solid at 47.8% versus the state's 31.3%, though it trails Rocky Hill's 62.8%. Cromwell's graduation rate is near-elite at 97.0%, well above the state average of 91.2% and higher than Rocky Hill's 90.9%.

One of the most impressive findings is how well Cromwell serves students from lower-income households: its low-socioeconomic-status students ranked 10th of 68 schools statewide in 2025–2026, a remarkable equity indicator given that about 30% of students receive free or reduced-price lunch. With a student–teacher ratio of 11.0 and just 515 students, Cromwell offers a small, supportive environment. Chronic absenteeism is 14.4%, better than the state average of 16.4% and far below Middletown High School (34.6%) and New Britain High School (43.7%). Spending of $17,921 per student is moderate compared with Glastonbury's $24,386, making Cromwell's high performance a strong value. Overall, Cromwell High School is a small but mighty school that competes with—and often beats—its more affluent neighbors.
