The school has consistently ranked among the top elementary schools in Connecticut, with a current statewide ranking of 61 out of 497 schools and a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Tolland Intermediate School stands out for its exceptional academic performance, consistently outperforming the state and district averages in standardized test scores for English Language Arts and Mathematics. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, 77.7% of 5th-grade students were proficient or better in ELA, compared to the state average of 51.4%. In Mathematics, 82% of 4th-grade students were proficient or better, compared to the state average of 49.7%. However, the school's student population is relatively homogeneous, with 79.18% of students identifying as White, and it has a low percentage of economically disadvantaged students (18.67%) compared to nearby schools like Maple Street School (72.37%) and Lake Street School (41.83%).

While Tolland Intermediate School's academic excellence is commendable, the analysis also highlights the need to consider the school's demographic composition and potential disparities in access and opportunity. The school's low student-teacher ratio of 11.9 suggests a strong focus on personalized learning, but there may be opportunities for the school to collaborate with more diverse districts and schools, such as Coventry School District or Ellington School District, to learn from their experiences and best practices in serving students from various backgrounds.

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.

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.
