Summary:
Woodbridge School District contains one top-performing elementary school, Beecher Road School, serving students in grades PK–6 in Woodbridge, Connecticut. As a single-school district, the district and school are virtually one and the same. Beecher Road School has earned a 5-star rating and ranks in the 95th percentile among Connecticut elementary schools, placing the district 7th out of 153 statewide. Its three-year ranking record is remarkably stable: #26 (2025-2026), #35 (2024-2025), and #24 (2023-2024) out of roughly 490 elementary schools.
With 862 students, this is a fairly large elementary school, but it maintains a low student-teacher ratio of 11.7:1 and a high per-pupil spending of $17,177. Only 12.65% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch. Test scores are dramatically above state averages across every grade and subject. For example, in 2025-2026, 4th grade ELA proficiency was 82.9% vs. 50.9% statewide, and 6th grade math was 78.3% vs. 44.4% statewide — gaps of roughly 30 to 34 points. Science proficiency in 5th grade reached 83.5% vs. 52.9% statewide. The district also reports a low chronic absenteeism rate of 6.2%, compared to 16.4% statewide.
Although the school excels across the board, a few areas deserve attention. Fifth grade math is the lowest subject, though it improved from 68.6% to 75.2% year over year. Third grade math dropped from 88.8% to 80.8%, the largest single-year decline in the dataset. Meanwhile, notable gains were posted in 5th grade math, 4th grade math, 5th grade ELA, and 5th grade science. Beecher Road School's combination of high spending, small classes, strong attendance, and consistent test results makes it one of Connecticut's most reliable top-ranked elementary schools. For parents, this single-school district offers a clear picture: an exceptional elementary experience with no internal comparison schools, but standout results that speak for themselves.
