Summary

Center School is an elementary school located in East Hampton, Connecticut, serving grades 4-5 with a total enrollment of 250 students. It is part of the East Hampton School District, which is ranked 59 out of 156 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Center School consistently outperforms the state average in proficiency rates for English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics across grades 4 and 5. In the 2024-2025 school year, the school's ELA proficiency rates were 68% for 4th grade and 72.7% for 5th grade, compared to the state averages of 51.4% and 52.5%, respectively. Similarly, Center School's Mathematics proficiency rates were 72.1% for 4th grade and 58.7% for 5th grade, compared to the state averages of 51.4% and 44.9%. The school's 5th-grade Science proficiency rate of 66.9% also exceeds the state average of 52.2%. However, the school's performance for White students is relatively lower, ranking in the bottom 50% of Connecticut elementary schools in recent years.

When compared to nearby schools, Center School generally outperforms the Memorial School, which serves grades PK-3 in the same district. However, compared to higher-performing schools outside the district, such as Hopewell School in the Glastonbury School District, Center School's academic performance is not as strong, particularly in Mathematics. The school's relatively low percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 21.6% to 23.4% in recent years, suggests a higher socioeconomic status compared to some nearby schools, which may contribute to the academic performance gap.
