Anna Reynolds School stands out for its diverse student population, with 49.74% White, 5.15% African American, 25.52% Hispanic, and 11.86% Asian students.

While Anna Reynolds School has several strengths, there are areas where the school could potentially improve. The school's racial diversity has become less diverse over the past few years, and its academic performance has been somewhat inconsistent, with fluctuations in its ranking among Connecticut elementary schools.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

Open Quote Anna Reynolds is such a great school because there is wide open space and there are nice patient teachers instead of grumpy mean ones and there is a big recess field and playground and a computer lab to teach the children technology. I LOVE LOVE LOVE ANNA REYNOLDS!!!!!! Close Quote

Open Quote this school is excellent because there is a computer lab special to help kids learn technology and you might think they use the cafeteria for the gym room but there is so much space that theres a different wide open room for the gym.Plus there is a HUGE art room and many more things. Like a GIGANTIC field for the recess and a playground with slides and ziplines things that you can balance on and climb on.I LOVE ANNA REYNOLDS! And right now its being run by principal Dr.Jeremy VISONE Close Quote

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
