Summary:

The Greenwich School District in Connecticut is home to 11 elementary schools serving pre-kindergarten through 5th grade, with approximately 3,914 students combined, and ranks #14 out of 153 Connecticut districts with a 5-star rating. Individual school rankings range dramatically from #1 to #161 in the state. The district significantly outperforms state averages — 83.3% of 3rd graders are proficient in ELA versus 47.3% statewide, and 85.6% are proficient in math versus 52.2% statewide.

North Mianus School is the academic leader, ranked #1 in Connecticut for both 2024–25 and 2025–26, with 94.9% of 3rd graders proficient in ELA and 92.4% of 5th graders proficient in math. Riverside School is elite and consistent, ranking #2 in 2025–26 and #1 in 2023–24, with the district's lowest free/reduced lunch rate at 1.59% and lowest chronic absenteeism at 4.6%. New Lebanon School is the most improved, climbing from #186 in 2023–24 to #10 in 2025–26 despite having the district's highest poverty rate at 61.6%. International School At Dundee is a consistent top-tier performer at #17 with very low absenteeism. Glenville School dropped from #47 to #119 and spends the least per student at $13,446, while Hamilton Avenue School ranks #161 with 17.5% chronic absenteeism.

Poverty and chronic absenteeism are strongly associated with lower rankings, with the three highest-poverty schools — New Lebanon, Hamilton Avenue, and Julian Curtiss School — showing the highest absenteeism rates. Money alone does not guarantee results: Old Greenwich School spends $33,050 per student yet ranked #12, while North Mianus spends $17,213 and is the #1 school. North Street School and Parkway School also rank in the top 15, forming a consistently strong cluster. Hamilton Avenue has the smallest classes at a 7.9 student-teacher ratio yet still lags academically. Several schools show upward momentum, including New Lebanon School (#186→#89→#10), Julian Curtiss School (#171→#73), Cos Cob School (#159→#102), and Hamilton Avenue School (#287→#161), pointing to a district moving in a positive direction.
