Summary

Broad Brook Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-4 in East Windsor, Connecticut, part of the East Windsor School District. With 480 students, the school has consistently been ranked in the bottom half of Connecticut elementary schools, receiving a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past several years.

One key issue at Broad Brook Elementary is its high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 12.2% to 22.3% over the past few years - significantly higher than the state average. The school's test scores on the SBAC assessments for English Language Arts and Mathematics are also consistently below the state and district averages. For example, in 2024-2025, only 40.6% of 3rd graders and 35.2% of 4th graders were proficient or better in ELA, compared to the state averages of 46.9% and 51.4%. Additionally, Broad Brook has a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 44.16% to 51.25% over the past few years.

When comparing Broad Brook Elementary to nearby schools, the performance gap becomes even more apparent. For instance, Philip R. Smith School in South Windsor, just 5 miles away, has significantly higher test scores, with 76.3% of 3rd graders and 79.7% of 5th graders proficient or better in ELA in 2024-2025. Addressing the root causes of Broad Brook's chronic absenteeism and exploring ways to optimize resource allocation could be crucial steps in improving the school's overall performance and providing a better educational experience for its students.
