Summary

Moody School is a small elementary school in Middletown, CT, serving about 212 students in grades PK–5. It stands out as a bright spot within the Middletown School District, which ranks in the 13th percentile statewide: in 2025–2026, Moody School ranked 157th out of 491 Connecticut elementary schools (68th percentile, 3 stars), far above the district and all other Middletown elementary schools. The school has an even stronger history — 57th in the state (89th percentile) in 2018–2019 — and has remained solid since, typically in the 68th–77th percentile range.

Moody School's academic performance is consistently well above district and state averages. In 2025–2026, 5th grade math proficiency was 70.6% versus 31.7% for the district and 45.8% statewide; 5th grade science reached 79.4% versus 42.9% for the district and 52.9% statewide. The 2024–2025 4th grade math result was exceptional: 80.6%, while nearby Farm Hill School (24.5%), Snow School (34.1%), and Macdonough School (22.2%) were far below the state average. Among Middletown's elementary schools, Moody School is the clear top performer — Wesley School, Farm Hill School, Snow School, Spencer School, Lawrence School, and Macdonough School all rank between the 21st and 39th percentiles statewide, versus Moody's 68th. Only Nathan Hale School in Meriden, at the 70th percentile, ranks slightly higher nearby.

Attendance is another major differentiator. Moody School's chronic absenteeism rate is just 6.5% — less than one-third of the Middletown School District's 22.1% and well below the 16.4% state average. The school also serves a comparatively lower-poverty population: about 28% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, versus 57% at Snow School and over 70% at Macdonough School. Spending is high at about $21,000 per student, with a student-teacher ratio of 12.7. Outside the district, Richard D. Hubbard School in the Berlin School District has similar demographics, and while Moody School leads in 5th grade science, Hubbard posted stronger 3rd grade ELA and 4th grade math. Overall, Moody School is one of the strongest elementary options in the Middletown area, with a standout attendance story and excellent math and science results, though its performance has eased slightly from its 2018–2019 peak.
