Summary:

The Greenwich School District in Connecticut serves 15 public schools—11 elementary, 3 middle, and 1 high school—with 8,377 students, earning a 5-star rating and ranking 14th out of 153 Connecticut districts.

Parents will find several of the best schools in the state right here. North Mianus School is currently ranked #1 in Connecticut, while Riverside School is #2; both have extremely low poverty and absenteeism rates. Eastern Middle School has been ranked #2 in the state for three straight years, with proficiency rates far above state averages. Greenwich High School posts a 98% graduation rate and 87.8% science proficiency, compared to 91.2% and 50.5% statewide.

That said, performance varies sharply by school. New Lebanon School is the district's biggest success story: despite having the highest free/reduced-lunch rate (61.6%), it jumped from #186 to #10 in just two years. By contrast, Hamilton Avenue School has the lowest elementary ranking (#161) and the highest chronic absenteeism (17.5%), above the state average. Western Middle School (#41) and Julian Curtiss School (#73) also lag behind their peers. Interestingly, Glenville School spends the least per student ($13,446), while New Lebanon spends the most ($44,272), and Hamilton Avenue has the lowest student-teacher ratio (7.9:1) yet still struggles—showing class size and spending alone don't guarantee results. Several schools also show a 5th-grade math dip; for example, Old Greenwich School drops from 92.5% in 3rd-grade math to 74.1% in 5th-grade. Overall, the eastern part of the district—North Mianus, Riverside, and Eastern Middle—forms an exceptionally strong K-8 pipeline, while improving equity across higher-poverty schools remains the district's main challenge.
