One of the key features of Hamilton Avenue School is its diverse student population, with 50.34% Hispanic, 32.65% White, 5.44% African American, and 4.76% Asian students. This diversity is much higher than the nearby schools, which tend to have a majority White student population. However, the school's academic performance, as measured by standardized test scores, is generally lower than the district and state averages. For example, the school's 5th-grade English Language Arts proficiency rate was 61.9%, compared to the district's 80.8% and the state's 51.4%. Similarly, the school's 5th-grade Mathematics proficiency rate was 47.6%, compared to the district's 73.3% and the state's 43.1%. Additionally, Hamilton Avenue School has a significantly higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, at 55.78%, compared to the nearby schools.
Despite the school's lower academic performance, it has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 6.9 students per teacher, which is lower than the nearby schools. However, the school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Connecticut elementary schools, with a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past several years. This suggests that the school faces persistent challenges in improving academic outcomes. In comparison, the nearby schools in the Greenwich School District, such as Old Greenwich School, International School at Dundee, and North Mianus School, consistently outperform Hamilton Avenue School on academic measures.
