Summary

Latimer Lane School is an elementary school in Weatogue, CT, serving 483 students in grades PK–6 as part of the highly regarded Simsbury School District, which ranks 15th among Connecticut districts. In the most recent ranking year, Latimer Lane School placed 42nd out of 491 Connecticut elementary schools — landing in the 91st percentile with a 5-star rating. This represents a remarkable climb over the past decade: the school ranked 120th in 2015–2016, surged to 30th by 2020–2021, and has remained in the top 60 ever since, including its current 42nd-place finish.

Academically, Latimer Lane posts proficiency rates roughly 30 points above state averages in English Language Arts and about 28 points above in math. In 5th grade science, 72.6% of students are proficient versus 52.9% statewide. The school's chronic absenteeism rate is a standout: just 4.5% this year, compared to 16.4% for the state and 7.9% for the district — and it has fallen steadily from 11.0% four years ago. Latimer Lane is particularly effective for male students, ranking 15th of 232 schools statewide for boys, and it achieves strong outcomes despite serving a slightly higher share of economically disadvantaged students than its district peers.

Within Simsbury, Latimer Lane is the lowest-ranked of four excellent elementary schools — Central School, Squadron Line School, Tootin' Hills School, and Latimer Lane span just eight ranking places this year. The school's student-teacher ratio of 14.6 is the highest among nearby schools, yet outcomes remain top-tier. Compared to nearby CREC magnet schools like Museum Academy and Ana Grace Academy of the Arts, proficiency gaps are enormous, though these schools serve far higher-poverty populations. Reading is a consistent strength across all grades; the main area to watch is 6th grade math, which has trailed district peers in recent years.

Thursday, September 21, 2017

Lots of fun events for students, but not a lot of learning. Much autonomy for teachers, unfortunately leading to very inconsistent academic expectations of students from teacher to teacher. Worksheet based curriculum all the way to 6th grade. Child was very unprepared for responsibility of middle school upon "graduating" this year. No accountability for assignments. Social/behavior problems/conflicts are brushed aside and ignored by teachers. Obvious favoritism of students and teachers by principal. Very competitive environment. Close Quote
