School Summary

Newington Forest Elementary School opened its doors in 1983 and underwent a full building renovation in 2018.  The school and community celebrated the new school building and its 35th School Anniversary in 2019. A supportive, dedicated staff provides an engaging learning environment for a diverse student population of about 545 students. Strong emphasis is placed on utilizing the workshop model for math and language arts instruction to provide engaging student learning experiences. Common assessments at each grade level are used to assess student learning and inform instruction.
