Yes, the best I could find said as of 2012 over 79% of all American households have some Internet access, and 82% of school aged children (3-17) live in homes with the Internet. But no specific state or municipal data.
Reason I was searching is that I'd heard repeatedly while in my daughter's school that faculty and staff were under the dubious impression our school's demographic in this regard was vastly lower. Actually they had a fluff number and said way less than half, which is the reason they cited for not utilizing our districts education information system to its full potential at the elementary level. Kinda off too because full use of the system is mandatory for all grades above 6.
Good news is the attached .pdf says the Census bureau starting now fall 2014 will be tracking this better. Hopefully by municipalities. I was just surprised I couldn't find better CT data.
