Summary

Nayaug Elementary School is a K-5 elementary school in South Glastonbury, CT, serving 533 students in the highly rated Glastonbury School District. For the 2025-2026 school year, it ranks 48th out of 491 Connecticut elementary schools, placing it in the 90th percentile with a 5-star rating. That makes it the highest-ranked school among nearby elementary schools, edging out Hopewell (88th percentile) and sitting well ahead of Gildersleeve (75th percentile) and Moser (68th percentile). This strong standing is consistent with Nayaug's track record: the school has ranked in the 83rd to 97th percentile over the past decade and has never dropped below a 4-star rating.

Academically, Nayaug performs well above state averages in English language arts, math, and science, and generally meets or exceeds its already strong district averages. The biggest standout areas are 3rd-grade math (86.9% proficient vs. 52.2% statewide), 5th-grade ELA (85.6% vs. 53.5%), and 5th-grade science (83.3% vs. 52.9%). That science score is a regional standout, about 20 points above neighboring schools like Moser (63.7%) and Woodside (64.1%). Fifth grade is especially strong overall, with proficiency rates roughly 26-34 points above the state. The one relative soft spot is 4th grade, where scores trail the district average by a few points in both ELA and math, a consistent pattern worth watching.

Nayaug's chronic absenteeism rate of 8.9% is about half the state average of 16.4%, though it runs above the district average (6.5%) and well above Hopewell's 4.9%. The school also achieves top-tier outcomes with comparatively modest per-pupil spending ($11,619 vs. $15,341 at Gildersleeve, for example), suggesting efficient use of resources. About 17.3% of Nayaug students qualify for free or reduced lunch, a higher share than other Glastonbury elementaries but lower than most nearby district schools, and subgroup rankings suggest strong results across student groups, including notably strong outcomes for male students. Overall, Nayaug presents a profile of sustained academic excellence, with attendance and 4th-grade consistency as the main areas to watch.

Nayaug School is a Community of Clicks.
This is not a school community where every student feels safe, connected, understood, and supported. This is also an environment that does not foster health, intellectual curiosity, appropriate risk-taking, and personal growth. Teachers that live local are to afraid to take a stand when bulling occurs in the classroom. The kids who's moms that head the pto and are the president of the pool clubs are getting away with whatever they want because the teachers are evidently afraid of upseting the parents who they see in the summer by the pool.
