I had the wonderful opportunity to do my student teaching at Wesley School. The principal is a remarkable leader and the teachers are superb. I would not hesitate to give this school my highest recommendation.

This elementary school is a diamond in the city! The principal, a highly dedicated man, is extraordinarily attentive to his students and very in touch with the day to day goings-on of the school. The teachers are outstanding - never hesitating to go above and beyond. My child has flourished in this incredible environment reading above grade level and excelling in all areas.

My Daughter and son go to Wesley. My Daughter started in the second semester of 1st grade and is now in the third grade. My son started kindergarten this year. They both love it. The teachers are wonderful. It is a very friendly place with a great PTA. My daughter went to a Montessori school and when she came to a public school and was tested, she was way behind. The school brought in a special assistant that was able to catch her up before the end of the semister. Now she is at the level she should be or above. Fortunately our son won't have to go through that. Great school.

My daughter is in second grade at Wesley. What a phenominal place! It has a small town, community atmosphere where the teachers know your child and enjoy teaching! My daughter has been loveingly taught and educated by professionals. we are planning to move soon, I hope we can enjoy the same atmosphere in our next town--it will be hard to top.

I went to Wesley school from kindergarten to fourth grade, and hated just about every moment of it. Homework was so easy I did it on the car ride home--about 5 minutes. I went to private school and actually enjoyed doing homework and challenging myself. If you want your child to enjoy their time at school, do NOT send them to this elementary school. I don't know if it's changed at all since I went there, but I doubt it.

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.
