Summary

Peck Place School is an elementary school in Orange, Connecticut, serving 386 students in grades 1–6 as part of the highly rated Orange School District. The school currently ranks 69th out of 491 elementary schools statewide (86th percentile), a significant jump from 122nd the previous year, placing it among the top elementary schools in the region. Only Turkey Hill School, another Orange school, ranks higher locally at 53rd, while Race Brook School sits at 121st.

Peck Place's greatest academic strength is English Language Arts, with proficiency rates well above state averages at every grade level — for example, 81.2% of 3rd graders and 83.6% of 5th graders are proficient in ELA, compared to roughly 47–54% statewide. Early-grade math is also exceptional: 88.4% of 3rd graders are proficient in math, far exceeding both the district average and the state average. The school also serves male students exceptionally well, ranking in the 93rd percentile among 232 schools for that subgroup. Chronic absenteeism is very low at just 3.1%, compared to 16.4% statewide, and the student-teacher ratio of 11.6:1 means relatively small class sizes.

The one area parents may want to watch is upper-grade math. While 3rd grade math is exceptional, proficiency drops to 57.4% in 5th grade and 64.3% in 6th grade — both below the district average. This suggests early math gains aren't fully carrying through the upper elementary years. Compared to nearby schools in other districts, Peck Place performs far above schools like Alma E. Pagels School and Washington School in West Haven, which have higher poverty rates and chronic absenteeism above 15%. Within Orange, Peck Place is stronger than Race Brook in most areas, and the district overall ranks 25th out of 153 in Connecticut. With a recent surge in 3rd grade scores and strong improvement in school effectiveness rankings, Peck Place appears to be on a positive trajectory.
