Summary

Anna Reynolds School is a public elementary school in Newington, CT, serving 407 students in grades PK through 4 as part of the Newington School District, which ranks in the middle of Connecticut districts. The school has seen a downward trend in its overall state ranking over the past decade, currently sitting in the 47th percentile, but it shines in specific areas that make it a compelling choice for many families.

One of the school's standout strengths is its exceptional performance with Hispanic students, ranking in the 86th percentile statewide—a top-tier achievement that places it among the best in Connecticut for serving this group. Additionally, 4th graders excel in English Language Arts, with 61.1% proficient in 2024-2025, outpacing both the district (55.3%) and state (51.4%) averages. The school has also made impressive strides in reducing chronic absenteeism, dropping from 14.8% in 2022-2023 to just 7.3% in 2024-2025, far below the district (12.4%) and state (17.2%) averages. However, 3rd grade math is a persistent weakness, with only 43% proficient compared to the district's 50.4% and state's 52.2%, suggesting a need for early math support.

Anna Reynolds sits on the border of three very different districts, creating a unique competitive landscape. It significantly outperforms nearby Holmes Elementary School in the New Britain School District (26th percentile), but trails the top-tier Wolcott School in the West Hartford School District (62nd percentile), just 0.72 miles away. Notably, Anna Reynolds spends more per student ($16,880) than higher-performing nearby schools like East Farms School ($15,218) and Duffy School ($14,511), indicating that resource allocation, not funding, may be key to improving its overall standing.

Open Quote Anna Reynolds is such a great school because there is wide open space and there are nice patient teachers instead of grumpy mean ones and there is a big recess field and playground and a computer lab to teach the children technology. I LOVE LOVE LOVE ANNA REYNOLDS!!!!!! Close Quote

Open Quote this school is excellent because there is a computer lab special to help kids learn technology and you might think they use the cafeteria for the gym room but there is so much space that theres a different wide open room for the gym.Plus there is a HUGE art room and many more things. Like a GIGANTIC field for the recess and a playground with slides and ziplines things that you can balance on and climb on.I LOVE ANNA REYNOLDS! And right now its being run by principal Dr.Jeremy VISONE Close Quote
