The improvement in 4th grade scores between 2024-2025 and 2025-2026, with ELA rising by about 15 points and math by about 14 points, points to a very strong incoming cohort or successful interventions. The recent decline in 3rd grade math is worth watching, but the school still remains above state averages in most tested subjects. In short, families in zip code 06413 have access to a solid, high-functioning elementary school that continues to improve its state ranking while serving a diverse student population.
