Summary

Hopewell School in South Glastonbury, CT, is a K–4 elementary school serving 458 students as part of the Glastonbury School District. For the 2025–2026 school year, it ranks 60th out of 491 Connecticut elementary schools, placing it in the 88th percentile, and it has consistently stayed within the top 80 statewide over the past decade. The school serves a largely affluent community, with only about 7.9% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, and chronic absenteeism is very low at 4.9% — far better than the 16.4% statewide average.

Academically, the school's signature strength is mathematics, with proficiency rates consistently in the mid-70s to low 80s, well above state averages in both 3rd and 4th grade. English Language Arts is also strong but has shown more year-to-year variability, including a 3rd grade dip in 2024–2025 that recovered the following year. Among nearby Glastonbury elementary schools, it ranks behind Hebron Avenue School (25th) and Nayaug Elementary School (48th), but comfortably ahead of Buttonball Lane School (107th) and Naubuc School (171st).

The comparison to Hebron Avenue School is especially instructive: the two schools serve very similar student populations with comparable attendance and class sizes, yet Hebron Avenue outperformed Hopewell on nearly every 2025–2026 Smarter Balanced measure, suggesting room for instructional growth. Notably, Nayaug Elementary School also ranks ahead of the school despite having a higher percentage of economically disadvantaged students and higher absenteeism. Hopewell dramatically outpaces schools in the nearby East Hartford School District, which serve far higher shares of economically disadvantaged students. The school also spends less per student (about $11,585) than most comparable schools, and its student-teacher ratio of 13.7 is slightly higher than several peers, pointing to efficient operations. Since it serves only grades K–4, its statewide rank is based entirely on 3rd and 4th grade performance, so a complete picture also depends on how students transition to their next school.
