I have 2 sons that attended this school. From First grade through fourth grade. They were unable to attend Fifth grade at Bingham due to the school closing. It was so so sad to see this school close :( It was such a wonderful environment. All the staff knew your name, or atleast which child was yours! I miss the personal side that this school offered and many others are lacking.

My child is in Kindergarten. From my first encounter with the school and its staff, I was thoroughly impressed with the commitment to the children, the strong focus on literacy, diversity and the overall educational experience. The school community has proven to be a very warm, welcoming environment to allow the children to thrive on all that it has to offer. K.Oren

The academic programs at Bingham are wonderful. The teachers are tentive and patient. Bingham used to be a fun place to be as well. A few years back, all the families got together at school functions and interacted. Unfortunately, since changing principals a couple years back, moral has gone down dramatically. I hope that it picks back up. My children were at Bingham and will be returning the next school year.

This is an excellent school. There are some teachers that go beyond the duty. There's lot of parent involvement, which adds to the school.

About the tests


In 2008-2009 Connecticut used the Connecticut Mastery Test (CMT) to test students' skills in reading, writing and math in grades 3 through 8, and in science in grades 5 and 8. The CMT is a standards-based test, which means it measures how well students are mastering specific skills defined for each grade by the state of Connecticut.
