The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
The Test Score Rating reflects annual state test results for this school compared with scores statewide.

Capital Prep is a good school to go to if you love social justice. Academically it is not as strong as other schools. But overall, Capital Prep is an ok School if you're trying to escape other Hartford public schools.

Capital Prep instilled great values in me as young adult especially when it came to social Injustice.

We are thrilled with the high expectations (and don't mind the strict rules, including uniform adherence, which is made very clear to all pa...

The Senior class is whittled down to a handful of students to give the appearance o...
