Summary

Somers High School is a small public high school in Somers, CT, serving 359 students in grades 9–12 as part of the Somers School District. This suburban school has emerged as one of the top performers in the region, ranking 18th out of 133 high schools statewide in the 2025–2026 school year—a dramatic improvement from its 49th-place ranking just a few years earlier. That places it in the 86th percentile of Connecticut high schools and ahead of nearby Tolland High School (rank 40) and Ellington High School (rank 42).

Academically, Somers stands out in nearly every subject. On the 2025–2026 SAT, 79.2% of 11th graders met proficiency in English language arts, compared with a 55.3% state average, and 45.5% met proficiency in math versus 31.3% statewide. Science is the school's standout subject, with 80.2% of students proficient on the NGSS assessment—roughly 30 points above the state average and nearly matching South Windsor High School's 81.8%. The school also posts a 98.9% graduation rate, the highest in the area, and chronic absenteeism of just 8.8%, well below the state average of 16.4%.

Somers' success is supported by an exceptionally low student-to-teacher ratio of 7.7:1—the lowest among nearby high schools—and a small student body that allows for substantial individual attention. Math scores, while above the state average, remain a relative area for growth compared with the school's ELA and science results. With per-student spending near the state median, Somers achieves outcomes that exceed many larger neighboring schools, including Enfield High School, Stafford High School, and the Capitol Region Education Council magnet academies such as the Academy of Aerospace and Engineering. For parents seeking a small, high-performing school with strong student engagement and a clear upward trajectory, Somers High School is an excellent option.
