The school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Connecticut elementary schools over the past several years, with a ranking between 428-466 out of over 500 schools.

John B. Stanton School struggles academically, with only 17% of 3rd graders proficient or better in ELA and 15.1% of 3rd graders and 16.9% of 5th graders reaching proficiency in math, significantly lower than state averages.
