I have four sons who attend this school and I am very much impressed with the hard work of the teachers as well as the strong support among parents. My boys have excelled and are getting prepared for middle school. Hats off to Squadron Line for a job well done!!!!

Squadron Line school is absolutely wonderful. Lots of parent involvement and the teachers are first rate. It is a large school with a very small school feel.

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.
