Summary

Simsbury High School is a large public high school in Simsbury, CT, serving 1,187 students in grades 9–12 as part of the Simsbury School District, which ranks among the top districts in Connecticut (15th of 153). The school has earned a 5-star rating and was ranked 6th out of 133 high schools statewide for 2025–2026 (95th percentile), with remarkable consistency — it has placed between #4 and #10 in each of the last several years. Simsbury posts a 97.7% graduation rate, well above the state average of 91.2%, and chronic absenteeism of just 9.7% versus 16.4% statewide.

Academically, Simsbury excels across nearly every measure. On 11th-grade assessments, 86.1% of students were proficient in English Language Arts and 88.5% in science — far exceeding state averages of 55.3% and 50.5%. Math proficiency was 58.3%, nearly double the state rate of 31.3%. Among nearby suburban peers, Simsbury leads Avon High School, Hall High School, Canton High School, and Granby Memorial High School in ELA and science, and is essentially tied with Avon in math. The school also earns strong results for historically underserved student groups, ranking #2 in the state for low socio-economic status students and #5 for Hispanic students in recent years.

Two areas are worth watching. Math, while strong by state standards, trails top competitors like Avon (58.6%) and Hall (62.7%). Special education students ranked in the 73rd percentile most recently — still above average but less dominant than the school's overall performance. Simsbury also achieves these results while spending about $18,371 per student, less than several neighboring districts with weaker outcomes, including Weaver High School and Bloomfield High School. For families evaluating the region, Simsbury is the clear academic anchor, combining top-tier results with strong outcomes across student groups.
