An overview of Coventry public schools
The federal directory lists 5 public schools in Coventry, CT: 2 elementary, 1 middle, 2 high. The 5 schools that reported 2024–25 membership enrolled 1,500 students, an average of 300 per school. The largest campus is Coventry High School (395 students), and the largest elementary school is George Hersey Robertson School (370).

Across schools that reported staffing, the median student–teacher ratio is 9.9:1, lower than the statewide school median of 11.9:1. A ratio counts classroom-teacher FTE against total enrollment, so specialized programs and part-time staffing can move it; ask schools for actual class sizes by grade.
About 27% of students in reporting schools were eligible for free or reduced-price meals in 2024–25. This describes the community served; it is not a quality signal, and community-eligibility schools can report differently.
