Summary

Grove J. Tuttle School is an elementary school in East Haven, Connecticut, serving 279 students from kindergarten to 5th grade. The school is part of the East Haven School District, which is ranked 139 out of 156 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite its small size, Grove J. Tuttle School consistently underperforms compared to the district and state in academic measures. The school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics are significantly lower than the averages across all grade levels. Additionally, the school has experienced high rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 9.6% to 22.8% over the past few years, which is notably higher than the state's average. A large proportion of the school's students, 60.57%, come from low-income families and qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, which is significantly higher than the state average.

When compared to nearby schools, such as Momauguin School and Carbone School/East Haven Academy, Grove J. Tuttle School generally underperforms in academic measures, but performs relatively better in terms of student-teacher ratio and spending per student. The school's declining statewide ranking, from 362 out of 551 Connecticut elementary schools in 2014-2015 to 441 out of 493 in 2024-2025, suggests that it is falling behind its peers in the state.
