The school operates in partnership with Trinity College.

During the 2006–07 school year, and has continued that tradition through 2024, Hartford Magnet Trinity College Academy was recognized with the Blue Ribbon School Award of Excellence by the United States Department of Education,[2][3] the highest award an American school can receive.

[4] "The Blue Ribbon award is given only to schools that reach the top 10 percent of their state's testing scores over several years or show significant gains in student achievement."

In 2022, the Hartford Public Schools finance department performed an audit of the school's financial records from the fiscal year of 2021-2022.

[5] The audit discovered that the school's "Student Activity Fund" had a deficit of $42,000 which was likely caused by transactions being recorded with missing information and incorrect descriptions.
