Summary:
In zip code 06057 (New Hartford, CT), the New Hartford School District operates three elementary schools — Ann Antolini School, Bakerville Consolidated School, and New Hartford Elementary School — serving grades PK through 6 with a combined enrollment of 429 students.
The district uses a clear grade-span structure: Bakerville Consolidated School (K–2) and New Hartford Elementary School (PK–2) feed into Ann Antolini School, which serves grades 3–6 and is the only campus with state test data. Ann Antolini is the academic leader, ranking around the 60th percentile statewide for three consecutive years and consistently exceeding Connecticut averages in English Language Arts across all grade levels, with particular strength in 3rd grade (69.2% proficient vs. 47.3% statewide). Math performance is strong in grades 3 and 5 but closer to the state average in 6th grade. Meanwhile, New Hartford Elementary School offers the lowest student-teacher ratio at 10.7:1, and Bakerville Consolidated School stands out for spending $23,476 per student — roughly 45% more than the other two schools.
Overall, these schools provide a strong foundation for young learners. All three maintain favorable student-teacher ratios between 10.7 and 13.3, free/reduced lunch eligibility averages just 15.8%, and chronic absenteeism at Ann Antolini is only 7.7% — less than half the state's 16.4%. The district's spending gap at Bakerville, driven largely by its small enrollment of 104, may be worth examining, but families here benefit from stable academic performance, small class sizes, and very high attendance.
