Summary

Tootin' Hills School is a K-6 elementary school in West Simsbury, CT, serving 368 students as part of the highly regarded Simsbury School District, which ranks 15th out of 153 Connecticut districts. The school has ranked in the top 40 of roughly 490-500 Connecticut elementary schools for four consecutive years, earning a 5-star rating and placing around the 92nd-93rd percentile statewide.

Tootin' Hills excels in test scores, particularly in math and upper grades. In 2025-2026, 3rd grade math proficiency hit 88.2% and 6th grade math reached 84.0%, far exceeding state averages of 52.2% and 44.4%. Attendance is another strength: chronic absenteeism was just 5.1% in 2025-2026, about one-third of the statewide rate of 16.4%. The most notable concern is a consistent 4th-grade dip—in each of the last four years, 4th graders scored below the district average in both ELA and math, before rebounding in 5th and 6th grades.

Tootin' Hills is part of a tight cluster of high-performing Simsbury elementary schools: in 2025-2026, Central School ranked 34th, Squadron Line School 38th, and Tootin' Hills 39th, with Latimer Lane School close behind at 42nd. Tariffville School, the fifth Simsbury elementary school, ranked 144th. Tootin' Hills also outperforms Pine Grove School (ranked 103rd) despite nearly identical poverty rates. With a student-teacher ratio of 12.9 and mid-range spending, the school achieves strong outcomes through instructional quality and school culture. Male students have been a particular strength, ranking 11th statewide in 2024-2025.
