Summary

North Street School is a highly-regarded public elementary school in Greenwich School District, serving 396 students from pre-kindergarten to 5th grade. The school consistently ranks among the top elementary schools in Connecticut, with exceptional academic performance and low chronic absenteeism rates.

North Street School's students excel on standardized tests, with proficiency rates significantly higher than the state and district averages in both English Language Arts and Mathematics. The school maintains a low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 10.5 to 12.6 over the past few years, which is lower than most nearby schools. Additionally, North Street School has a very low percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 3.28% to 4.04%, suggesting a more affluent student population compared to the surrounding area.

While North Street School's performance is consistently outstanding, the stark differences in academic achievement and student demographics between the school and some of its nearby counterparts, such as Hamilton Avenue School and Westover School, raise questions about equity and access to high-quality education within the Greenwich School District. The school's fluctuating chronic absenteeism rates also suggest that attendance may be an area for improvement.

Thrilled with the school, quality and manner of teaching, and community. What other elementary school gives parents an option to send their child to school half an hour early for Chinese five days a week? Close Quote

There is a great community at this school. Parent are very involved and supportive of the teachers and the new principal. It seems like our son is progressing every week, bringing something new home for us to discuss and debate. At our first PTA, I was surprise at how detailed the teacher was in describing our son's strengths, and actions she was taking to address areas where he could improve. It felt more like a personal tutor that a teacher with 12 kids in the class. We are impressed with our son's development there. Close Quote

Once a jewel, this school has rested on it's laurels for many years and poor leadership has consigned it to mediocrity. Persistent failure to address problem teachers, poor communication with parents, lack of transparency, refusal to acknowledge and address poor results and critical policy failures make for an uncertain future. Although the glory of the Greenwich Public Schools have faded in general, there are still far better choices in the district than North Street. Close Quote
