Summary

Maple Hill School is a K-4 elementary school in Naugatuck, CT, serving 464 students as part of the Naugatuck School District, a district that ranks in the 18th percentile statewide. The school itself ranks in the 35th percentile of Connecticut elementary schools (2 stars), placing it ahead of many nearby urban schools but behind the more affluent schools in Regional School District 16. Its most distinctive strength is attendance: chronic absenteeism is just 6.1%, far below the district's 18.1% and the state's 16.4%, and comparable only to Prospect Elementary School at 2.4%.

Academically, Maple Hill is a mixed picture. In 2025-2026, 4th grade math proficiency reached 49.5% — the best among Naugatuck's four K-4 schools and nearly matching the state average of 52.1%. By contrast, 3rd grade ELA proficiency was 36.1%, the lowest among the Naugatuck elementary schools and more than 11 points below the state average. The school has declined significantly over time, falling from the 63rd percentile in 2018-2019 to the 35th percentile today, though it remains competitive with its district peers like Hop Brook Elementary School and Andrew Avenue School.

Maple Hill spends about $14,562 per student — less than nearby Andrew Avenue School ($17,346) or Laurel Ledge School ($17,810) — yet achieves comparable or better outcomes, suggesting efficient use of resources. Outcomes for different groups of students are uneven: students from low-income families ranked in the 89th percentile statewide in 2021-2022 but fell to the 36th percentile by 2023-2024. The school's biggest opportunity is to build on its strong attendance culture and 4th grade math success to strengthen early literacy and reverse its broader downward trend.
