Groton, Connecticut sits on the eastern bank of the Thames River, across the water from New London, with the Long Island Sound stretching out to the south. The town has a strong identity rooted in naval history and defense industry, anchored by the Naval Submarine Base New London and General Dynamics Electric Boat, one of the country's leading submarine contractors. Pfizer also maintains a significant presence here, giving the local economy a broad, sturdy base.
Neighborhoods range from waterfront pockets near the Sound to quieter inland areas spread across Groton's roughly 46 square miles. The Avery Point campus of the University of Connecticut brings an academic energy to the southeastern corner of town, sitting right along the coast. Mystic, one of Connecticut's most recognized shoreside destinations, borders Groton to the east and adds to the area's appeal.

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.
