Summary

Louis Toffolon School is a PK–5 elementary school in Plainville, CT, serving 365 students within the Plainville School District. Although its district sits in the lower-middle range statewide (35th percentile), Louis Toffolon School itself performs solidly at the 56th percentile — 215th out of 491 elementary schools. The school was stronger pre-pandemic, ranking at the 75th–79th percentile with 4-star ratings, but has since stabilized in the mid-50s to mid-60s range.

Toffolon's most distinctive strength is its upper-grade academic performance. In 2025–2026, 5th grade ELA proficiency reached 74% and math reached 68%, well above both district and state averages. The prior year, 4th grade math proficiency hit 82.4% — a roughly 25-point gap over the district average. These results outpace most nearby Bristol schools, including South Side School, Stafford School, Mountain View School, and Greene-Hills School. Attendance is another standout: chronic absenteeism was just 8.5% in 2024–2025, roughly half the district rate of 15.6% and far below the state's 17.2%. Students from low-income families and those receiving special education services perform notably well, with subgroup rankings in the 74th–91st percentile range in recent years. Interestingly, male students have recently outperformed female students, bucking the typical statewide trend.

The school does face some challenges. Third grade scores swing dramatically from year to year — from 76% ELA proficiency in 2023–2024 down to 39.6% in 2025–2026 — likely reflecting small class sizes and variable incoming cohorts. Toffolon's student-teacher ratio of 14.4 is also notably higher than both Frank T. Wheeler School (10.7) and Linden Street School (10.5) in the same district, yet it posts stronger results than both. With a 40.55% free/reduced lunch rate, the school serves a moderately economically diverse population and spends roughly $15,969 per student based on the most recent data available. While it cannot match affluent schools like West District School in Farmington, Toffolon delivers strong results for its context and remains a bright spot within its district.
