Summary:
The Trumbull School District is home to 6 elementary schools serving grades K–5 in a high-performing Connecticut suburb, with the district ranked 23rd out of 153 statewide and every school landing above the 73rd percentile. Daniels Farm School is the clear academic leader, posting the highest average ELA and math proficiency (83.7%) and the lowest chronic absenteeism (2.1% in 2024-25) while spending the least per pupil — making it both the top-ranked and most efficient school. Middlebrook School is the model of consistency, holding a stable statewide rank near 66th for three straight years with strong ELA and math, though its 5th-grade science scores lag the district average. Tashua School is the biggest story, sliding from 10th to 72nd in the state due to a dramatic 17.5-point drop in 3rd-grade ELA, even as its math remains a district strength.
Among the remaining schools, Booth Hill School posts the district’s best 5th-grade science score (86.8%) and a solid 5th-grade ELA performance, while Frenchtown Elementary School offers the smallest student-teacher ratio (12.6) and strong science but also has the highest free/reduced lunch rate (27.1%). Jane Ryan School spends the most per pupil ($16,443) yet holds the lowest current ranking and lowest overall test average, suggesting that higher spending does not automatically translate into better outcomes. Districtwide, math proficiency (76.2%) outpaces ELA (72.4%), with 3rd-grade ELA averaging just 64.8% — a clear target for early literacy support. Chronic absenteeism is exceptionally low across all schools (2.1–7.2%) versus the state rate of 16.4%, and every school exceeds Connecticut state averages in every subject, making Trumbull a consistently strong choice for elementary education.
