CREC Results
CREC Schools, along with students and educators, continually receive recognition for exceptional results. Here are some recent examples:
The University of Hartford Magnet School achieved a 26 percent increase in its Grade 3 reading scores and a 16 percent increase in math scores in a recent statewide achievement test.
The Metropolitan Learning Center was recognized by federal officials as one of the eight most innovative magnet schools in the nation. Recent Connecticut Mastery Test results demonstrated improvements made across racial and economic lines including some double-digit gains.
Public Safety Academy students taking the CMT standardized statewide test posted results that showed that the magnet school is closing the achievement gap between urban and suburban and economically disadvantaged students.
Glastonbury-East Hartford Elementary Magnet School and Metropolitan Learning Center were both named Magnet Schools of Excellence by Magnet Schools of America. The schools were selected, from among a list of nationwide candidates, because of their faculty’s commitment to high academic standards, curriculum innovation, successful desegregation/diversity efforts, student achievement, and parent and community involvement, according to Magnet Schools of America.
