Summary

Anna E. Norris School is a K–5 elementary school in East Hartford, CT, serving 279 students, with about 70% of students qualifying for free/reduced lunch. The school earned 2 stars in the 2025–2026 state ranking, placing 342nd out of 491 elementary schools statewide — a meaningful improvement from prior years. It maintains a low student-teacher ratio of roughly 10.5:1, and chronic absenteeism has dropped dramatically from 40.8% in 2021–2022 to 21.1%, now essentially matching the East Hartford School District average.

The school’s clearest strength is its current 3rd grade class. In 2025–2026, 54.3% of 3rd graders met ELA proficiency standards — above both the district (35.4%) and the state (47.3%) — and 45.7% met math standards, also above the district. Fourth grade math is another bright spot at 50% proficiency, far outpacing nearby Dr. Franklin H. Mayberry School (36.7%), Robert J. O'Brien School (31.0%), and Silver Lane School (21.2%). Anna E. Norris has climbed from the 3rd percentile statewide in 2016–2017 to the 30th percentile in 2025–2026, and among East Hartford elementary schools, only Dr. John A. Langford School ranks higher.

The biggest challenge is a sharp drop-off by 5th grade. Fifth grade ELA proficiency falls to 32.6% (state: 53.5%), math to 21.7% (state: 45.8%), and science to 25.5% (district: 45.6%), suggesting early gains are not yet translating into lasting achievement. Nearby Dr. John A. Langford School, serving a similar student population just 1.67 miles away, posts much stronger 5th grade results, showing what is possible within the same district. Robert J. O'Brien School demonstrates a different model, with the lowest chronic absenteeism (10.9%) among East Hartford peers and stronger 5th grade ELA and science scores. Attendance remains an area to watch — while Anna E. Norris has improved, it still exceeds the state’s 16.4% chronic absenteeism rate, and Hispanic student subgroup results dipped sharply in the most recent year after several stronger years.
