Summary

Elizabeth Green School is an elementary school located in Newington, Connecticut, serving grades PK-4 with a total enrollment of 269 students. The school is part of the Newington School District, which is ranked 93 out of 156 districts in Connecticut and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Elizabeth Green School's academic performance, as measured by SBAC test scores, is generally below the Newington School District and Connecticut state averages across various grade levels and subjects. For example, in 2024-2025, the school's 3rd grade English Language Arts proficiency rate was 54.7%, compared to the district's 49.6% and the state's 46.9%. However, the school's 4th grade English Language Arts proficiency rate was 49.1%, lower than the district's 55.3% and the state's 51.4%. In mathematics, the school's 4th grade proficiency rate was 39.6%, significantly lower than the district's 55.3% and the state's 51.4%. Additionally, Elizabeth Green School has experienced a concerning trend of increasing chronic absenteeism rates, rising from 7.3% in 2021-2022 to 17.7% in 2023-2024, which is higher than the chronic absenteeism rates of the nearby Ruth Chaffee School and Anna Reynolds School, also part of the Newington School District.

Despite the school's relatively higher per-student spending, which was $20,791 in 2018-2019 and $20,006 in 2017-2018, Elizabeth Green School's statewide ranking has steadily declined over the past several years, from 215 out of 522 Connecticut elementary schools in 2018-2019 to 266 out of 493 in 2024-2025, with a consistent 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. This trend suggests that the school's performance may be lagging compared to other elementary schools in the state, and the school's growing population of students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, as indicated by the increase in free and reduced-price lunch rate from 35.83% in 2021-2022 to 44.98% in 2023-2024, may be contributing to the academic challenges.
