Summary

Wolfpit Integrated Arts Elementary School in Norwalk, CT serves 341 students in Pre-K through Grade 5 and is one of the stronger schools in the Norwalk School District, ranking 254th out of 491 elementary schools statewide (48th percentile, 2 stars) for 2025–2026. The school's arts-integrated focus, low student-teacher ratio of 10.4:1, and per-student spending of $19,611 reflect a meaningful investment in resources. Within the district, Wolfpit outranks Kendall College & Career Academy, Tracey Magnet School, Silvermine Dual Language Magnet School, Marvin Elementary School, Jefferson Marine Science Elementary School, and Naramake Elementary School, with only Cranbury Elementary School and Concord Magnet School scoring slightly higher.

Wolfpit stands out most for its exceptional attendance and early-grade academic results. The chronic absenteeism rate of just 8.6% is nearly half the district rate of 15.4% and well below the state average of 16.4%. In 3rd grade, math proficiency reaches 66.7%—far above the district (47.7%) and state (52.2%)—and ELA proficiency of 54% also exceeds both benchmarks. The school delivers excellent outcomes for Hispanic and low-income students, who rank in the 71st and 73rd percentiles statewide, respectively. About 37.5% of students receive free or reduced-price lunch, and these results suggest a school that is especially effective at supporting underserved students.

The main area for growth appears in the upper grades, where strong 3rd-grade scores tend to dip by 4th and 5th grade. In 2025–2026, for example, math proficiency falls from 66.7% in 3rd grade to 42.9% in 5th grade, suggesting a need for stronger upper-elementary supports. The school's recent trajectory is nonetheless positive—rankings have climbed from 307th in 2023–2024 to 254th today, coinciding with improving attendance. Just a few miles away, King's Highway Elementary School and Saugatuck Elementary School in the Westport School District post higher proficiency rates and lower absenteeism, but those schools serve a very different demographic profile. Given its resources and results, Wolfpit appears a solid, improving choice for Norwalk families, particularly those seeking a small, arts-infused environment with strong early-grade instruction.

A hidden gem. A small but mighty school with great teachers, active parents who actually volunteer, schoolwide events, field trips, enrichment after school programs, you name it. Every teacher knows my children's names, and it feels like a family. I am so glad we chose to live here and send our kids to Wolfpit. Close Quote
