GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

My experience with the Connecticut IB Academy has been very good. The school pushes the students to do their best all of the time and the community is tightly nit. There are a wide variety of clubs and activities to attend after school and the sports are good. I would recommend this school.

This school is amazing. Ever since I came to this school I always felt like I was a part of a community as well as felt included and heard. There are so many resources to support students especially in times where we are all applying to colleges. The support is endless and i'm so happy to be a part of a community where everyone is accepted and loved.

The school is great in terms of educational purposes since it challenges my mind and helps in preparing me for college. It's also great in terms of people as all my friends are extremely smart, caring, and accepting which makes me look forward to walking into school everyday. The workload can be very stressful which is a reason why it didn't get five stars, and sometimes the teachers arent as understanding as id like.
