Summary

Wells Road Intermediate School is an elementary school in Granby, CT, serving 384 students in grades 3–5 as part of the Granby School District. The school currently ranks 198th of 491 Connecticut elementary schools (60th percentile, 3 stars), a steady decline from its stronger 2015–2018 period when it ranked in the 71st–81st percentile range.

Academically, Wells Road generally beats state averages in ELA and science. In 2025-2026, 5th grade ELA proficiency was 61.4% vs. the state's 53.5%, and 5th grade science hit 65.2% vs. 52.9% statewide. Science is the school's clearest strength, often exceeding state averages by 15–25 points. Math is more uneven, particularly in 4th grade, where 2024-2025 proficiency (49.2%) fell below the state average (51.4%) and well behind McAlister Intermediate School's 74.1%. Nearby R. Dudley Seymour School in East Granby outperforms Wells Road in nearly every subject, while McAlister is more comparable, with mixed results year to year.

Attendance is a major strength: chronic absenteeism has consistently run well below state averages (8.2% vs. 16.4% statewide in 2025-2026). The school also operates efficiently, spending about $14,468 per student, less than most regional peers like McAlister ($15,741) or Central School ($15,682), though its 14.4 student-teacher ratio is higher than many comparable schools. Subgroup results are mixed: economically disadvantaged and disabled students perform strongly relative to statewide peers, while recent rankings for White students and by gender have declined. Overall, Wells Road is a capable, above-average school with strong science and attendance, but inconsistent math and a gradual downward trend in state ranking are worth monitoring.
