Summary

Broad Brook Elementary School is a PK–4 school in East Windsor, CT, serving 441 students in a district rated 1 star. The school itself holds a 2-star rating and currently ranks 312th out of 491 Connecticut elementary schools, placing it in the 36th percentile statewide. About 52.6% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, and the school maintains a favorable 11:1 student-teacher ratio. Chronic absenteeism stands at 13.9%, which is better than both the East Windsor School District average (15.8%) and the state average (16.4%).

Academically, Broad Brook's SBAC scores trail state averages by 6–11 percentage points across subjects and grade levels. For example, 3rd grade ELA proficiency is 40.5% versus the state's 47.3%, and 4th grade math is 41.2% versus the state's 52.1%. The gaps compared with nearby schools are even starker: Center School in Ellington posts 75.4% proficiency in 3rd grade ELA, while Philip R. Smith School in South Windsor reaches 72.9%. Skinner Road School in Vernon has nearly identical poverty levels (52.7% free/reduced lunch) yet outperforms Broad Brook by roughly 15–20 points. Broad Brook does outperform South Elementary School in Windsor Locks by 10–16 points in most subjects, and it is comparable to Enfield's Edgar H. Parkman School and Eli Whitney School in certain grades and subjects.

One of the most notable findings is that Broad Brook spends about $19,300–$20,100 per student, significantly more than higher-performing neighbors like Center School ($12,714) and Philip R. Smith School ($15,067), yet results remain modest. The school has improved steadily from the 17th percentile in 2018-19 to the 36th percentile today, but gains have plateaued since peaking at the 40th percentile in 2023-24. Chronic absenteeism has improved dramatically, falling from 33.8% in 2021-22 to 13.9% in 2025-26, though it remains the highest among nearby comparison schools. For parents, Broad Brook offers small class sizes and improving attendance, but academic outcomes suggest there is meaningful room for growth.
