The school ranks 65th out of 491 Connecticut elementary schools, placing it in the 87th percentile with a 4-star rating, and has climbed steadily from the 73rd percentile a decade ago to a sustained position among the state's top elementary schools.

Academically, Tolland Intermediate beats Connecticut state averages by wide margins in every subject and grade. In 5th grade, 82.3% of students are proficient in ELA and 79.8% in math—34 percentage points above the state average in math. Science proficiency sits at 78.5%, compared to 52.9% statewide. These results also outpace nearby schools like Lake Street School and Skinner Road School in Vernon, and Tolland edges out Center School in Ellington in 5th-grade ELA, math, and science.

Only Birch Grove Primary School, the same-district PK–2 school, posts a comparable rate, while many surrounding elementary schools have rates in the 10–11% range. With moderate per-student spending, favorable class sizes, and a school culture that keeps kids in class, Tolland Intermediate combines strong overall achievement with exceptional support for its most at-risk students, making it a clear regional leader.
