Summary

Mitchell Elementary School serves 328 students in grades PK–5 in Woodbury, CT, as part of Regional School District 14, and it ranked 170th out of 491 Connecticut elementary schools in 2025-2026 — a solid 65th-percentile, 3-star performance that marks an improvement over the prior year. The school scores above the Connecticut state average in every tested subject and grade, with math and science as particular strengths: 5th grade math proficiency (68.1%) actually exceeds the district average, and 5th grade science (72.3%) is far ahead of the state's 52.9%. Families will also appreciate the favorable 12.2:1 student-teacher ratio and per-student spending around $18,000, consistent with neighboring districts.

Within its own district, Mitchell is the clear second of two elementary schools. Bethlehem Elementary School, also in Regional School District 14, ranks 85th statewide and outperforms Mitchell in nearly every test category — the widest gap is in 4th grade English Language Arts, where 55.1% of Mitchell students are proficient versus 79.1% at Bethlehem. In the broader local landscape, Mitchell sits in the upper-middle of a competitive cluster: it comfortably outpaces schools in Waterbury and Watertown while trailing several Regional School District 15 schools, including Gainfield Elementary School (93rd percentile) and Long Meadow Elementary School (73rd percentile). Pomperaug Elementary School and Middlebury Elementary School also rank ahead of Mitchell, though by narrower margins.

One thing parents should know is that Mitchell's test scores can swing noticeably from year to year due to small class sizes — for example, 3rd grade ELA proficiency jumped from 38.3% to 67.3% in just one year, and 5th grade math climbed from 46.0% to 68.1%. That volatility means the school's 3-star overall rating is a more reliable signal than any single year's grade-level results. Chronic absenteeism stands at 9.2%, well below the state's 16.4% and a genuine strength, though it is noticeably higher than at nearby high-performing schools like Gainfield (3.1%) and Bethlehem (5.7%) — making attendance one of the more actionable areas where Mitchell could close the gap with its top-tier neighbors.
