An overview of Newington public schools
The federal directory lists 7 public schools in Newington, CT: 4 elementary, 2 middle, 1 high. The 7 schools that reported 2024–25 membership enrolled 3,828 students, an average of 547 per school. The largest campus is Newington High School (1,255 students), and the largest elementary school is Anna Reynolds School (407).

Across schools that reported staffing, the median student–teacher ratio is 12.8:1, higher 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 37% 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.
