Summary:
The Greenwich, Connecticut school district consists of 9 schools, including 6 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 1 high school, serving students in the affluent town of Greenwich. The district is home to several standout schools, with North Street School and Parkway School ranking among the top elementary schools in the state. These high-performing schools boast exceptional test scores and low rates of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.
While the district as a whole performs well above state averages, there are significant disparities in student demographics and academic outcomes across the schools. For example, New Lebanon School has a free/reduced lunch rate of 62.8%, compared to just 3.29% at Parkway School. Similarly, 84.8% of 3rd graders at North Street School are proficient in English Language Arts, while only 41.8% of 3rd graders at New Lebanon School meet that benchmark.
The Greenwich School District also exhibits a wide range in spending per student, from $13,446 at Glenville School to $44,272 at New Lebanon School, without a clear correlation between spending and academic outcomes. Further analysis would be needed to fully understand the drivers of these disparities and how the district can work to address equity issues and ensure all students have access to a high-quality education.
