Poquonock is a great school!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i went here from 4th to 5th grade. My teachers were awesome and the school had many fun 5th grade only activities. Our principal was very nice too. Poquonock is the best school in Windsor!

My daughter is a new 2nd grade student at Poquonock school and this is our first Public School experience. I am overjoyed at the quality education she receives and the parent teacher involvement that is strongly encouraged. My daughter can't stop talking about her teachers and her classmates. She doesn't even mind doing homework. I have nothing but good things to say about this school.

Poquonock is an excellent school. When my son first started he wasn't interested in learning due to his special needs. The teachers and staff did a wonderful job with him and by the 2nd grade he has become a student. The teachers and staff are wonderful, caring and really took interest in his education.

My child has special needs and they have tried hard to accomadate this into the educational experience he receives. They do however need a deeper awareness of the day to day type of needs for the physically challenged among them, and need to provide more opportunities for these kids to gain independence within the school premises.

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.
