Connecticut Ib Academy

Connecticut IB Academy is a public high school in East Hartford enrolling 188 students across grades 9 through 12. The school earns a composite score of 9.1/10 — rated Exceptional — with a 9.3 academic score and an 8.6 growth score. Both figures place it well above most Connecticut public schools.

The rankings confirm it. Among 196 public high schools in Connecticut, Connecticut IB Academy stands third. Statewide across all 990 public schools, it ranks 25th — outperforming 98% of Connecticut schools overall.

In East Hartford, it holds the top spot among all 16 public schools in the city. A student-teacher ratio of 11.8:1 keeps instruction small and direct across all four grade levels. The 8.6 growth score is worth noting separately from the academic score: it reflects year-over-year student gains, not just a starting-line advantage.

Together, those two numbers tell a fuller story than a single composite can. For families comparing high school options in the greater Hartford region, the combination of an Exceptional rating, strong growth, and a top-three statewide rank among high schools makes Connecticut IB Academy one of the hardest public schools in Connecticut to match.

With an enrollment of 188 students, Connecticut Ib Academy is a smaller school where families often find a close-knit community atmosphere. Smaller settings can mean more individual attention from teachers and staff, though they may offer fewer extracurricular options than larger schools.
