Summary

East Hampton Middle School, part of the East Hampton School District, serves 411 students in grades 6–8 in East Hampton, Connecticut, and has become one of the region's stronger public middle schools. For 2025–2026, the school ranks 77th of 258 Connecticut middle schools—the 70th percentile—earning 4 stars. That's a steady climb from the 50th percentile a decade ago. Academically, the school beats the state average in both English Language Arts and Mathematics at every grade level, with ELA running roughly 9–15 points above the state and math 7–15 points above. Chronic absenteeism has improved to 9.9%, well below the state average of 16.4%.

Compared with nearby schools, East Hampton is a clear standout. It far outperforms Beman Middle School in Middletown and Nathan Hale-Ray Middle School in East Haddam, and it leads RHAM Middle School and Cromwell Middle School in most subjects. Math scores have improved sharply—6th-grade math jumped from 37% proficiency in 2022–2023 to 51.7% in 2025–2026—and the school spends less per student ($16,690) than several neighbors while producing competitive results. Low-socioeconomic-status students also perform well, ranking in the 57th percentile statewide.

The main challenge is closing the gap with the region's elite tier. Albert D. Griswold Middle School and Gideon Welles School post higher scores in ELA and math, and William J. Johnston Middle School leads in math across all grade levels. Science is an area to watch, with 8th-grade proficiency at 57.6%—above the state but behind several peers. Still, for families comparing options, East Hampton Middle School is a reliable, improving choice that stands out among nearby districts.

Moved here so my kids can have "better schools." Not impressed. I feel like all the schools here are constantly asking for money and the staff talks to me like I'm a child. Can't wait to sell our house and run from this town. Close Quote
