Summary

Albert D. Griswold Middle School is a public middle school located in Rocky Hill, Connecticut, serving 614 students in grades 6-8. The school is part of the Rocky Hill School District, which is ranked 37 out of 156 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Albert D. Griswold Middle School consistently performs well above the state average in standardized test scores across all grades and subjects. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school had 71.6% of 6th graders, 79.4% of 7th graders, and 76.4% of 8th graders proficient or better in SBAC/English Language Arts, compared to the state average of 50%. The school also outperformed the state in SBAC/Mathematics and NGSS/Science. Additionally, the school ranks highly in the state for the performance of female students, male students, Hispanic students, and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds. The school's spending per student is also higher than the state average.

While the school's performance is generally strong, there are a few areas that could be explored for potential improvement, such as the chronic absenteeism rate, which has fluctuated over the years, and the performance of white and disabled students, which is not as strong as other subgroups. The school's proximity to other middle schools, including some in the Hartford School District, which has lower overall performance, may provide opportunities for collaboration and sharing of best practices.
