Summary

Northeast Academy Magnet School in Mystic, CT, serves 392 students in grades PK through 5 and is part of the Groton School District. Despite its district ranking in the 31st percentile statewide, Northeast Academy ranks in the 64th percentile of Connecticut elementary schools — 178th out of 491 — with a 3-star rating, and it has consistently landed in the upper third of schools over the past decade.

Academically, the school outperforms both district and state averages in every grade and subject. On 2025-2026 SBAC tests, 5th graders hit 68.3% proficiency in math versus 45.8% statewide, and 77.8% proficiency in science versus 52.9% statewide. Among Groton elementary schools, Northeast Academy is the clear standout: Catherine Kolnaski Magnet School ranks in the 51st percentile, Thames River Magnet School in the 50th, and both Charles Barnum Magnet School and Mystic River Magnet School in the 36th. Only two nearby schools rank higher — North Stonington Elementary School (82nd percentile) and Deans Mill School (80th percentile) — and both serve far fewer low-income students.

Attendance is a standout strength: chronic absenteeism is just 6.9%, less than half the district rate of 16.5%. The school has also posted exceptional results for high-need students, with low-income students ranking in the 91st percentile statewide in 2021-2022 and special education students in the 88th percentile in 2020-2021. Its free/reduced lunch population is 36.7% — far lower than nearby magnets like Mystic River (81.4%) or Winthrop STEM Elementary Magnet School (73.9%). Per-pupil spending of $15,507 is actually lower than several lower-performing peers, suggesting the school achieves strong results without exceptional resources.
