Summary

Naubuc School is a K–5 elementary school in Glastonbury, CT, serving 441 students as part of the Glastonbury School District, a highly regarded district ranked in the 84th percentile statewide. Naubuc itself currently holds a 3-star rating, ranking 171st out of 491 Connecticut elementary schools in the 65th percentile. This marks a shift from recent years when the school consistently earned 4 stars and ranked in the low-70s percentile, so it remains a solid school but one that has slipped somewhat over the past two years.

Academically, Naubuc outperforms the Connecticut state average by wide margins in both English Language Arts and math. For example, 3rd grade math proficiency is 73.1% compared to the state average of 52.2%, and 3rd grade ELA is 66.2% versus the state's 47.3%. However, Naubuc trails the Glastonbury district average in nearly every grade and subject, with the largest gaps in 5th grade ELA (15 points below) and 4th grade ELA (11.2 points below). Among Glastonbury elementary schools, Naubuc is the lowest-ranked: Hebron Avenue School earns a 5-star rating in the 95th percentile, while Buttonball Lane School holds 4 stars in the 78th percentile. At the same time, Naubuc outperforms many nearby schools in the East Hartford School District by wide margins — in 4th grade math, 64.3% of Naubuc students met proficiency, compared to 39.6% at Dr. Thomas S. O'Connell School and 30.2% at Glastonbury/East Hartford Magnet School.

Naubuc also stands out within Glastonbury for its more economically diverse student population — 30.6% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, compared to 7.0% at Hebron Avenue and 15.4% at Buttonball Lane. Chronic absenteeism is 8.8%, better than the state's 16.4% but above the district's 6.5%. Grade-level results vary noticeably by cohort; in 2022-2023, 5th grade math reached 76.4%, actually surpassing the district average. The school has also posted strong historical results for special education students. For parents, Naubuc is a solid choice that performs well above state averages while serving a more diverse student body than its Glastonbury peers — though families weighing it against other district schools may want to explore those differences firsthand.
