Summary

Long Meadow Elementary School is a public PK–5 school in Middlebury, CT, serving 518 students as part of Regional School District 15, which spans Middlebury and Southbury. For the 2025-2026 school year, Long Meadow Elementary School earned a 4-star rating and ranked 134th out of 491 Connecticut elementary schools — a significant jump from 208th in each of the prior two years and a strong rebound toward its pre-2020 standing.

Academically, Long Meadow's SBAC proficiency rates are well above state averages in every reported grade and subject — for example, 71.9% of third graders met the ELA benchmark versus 47.3% statewide, and 75.0% met the math benchmark versus 52.2% statewide. Results relative to its own district are more mixed, but the school's biggest standout metric is attendance: a chronic absenteeism rate of just 3.8%, far below the district average of 9.0% and the state average of 16.4%. Long Meadow is also the district's largest elementary school, with enrollment roughly 60% higher than Pomperaug Elementary School's 395 students.

While Long Meadow's overall numbers are strong, its subgroup effectiveness ratings are more modest, and a clear in-district comparison point exists: Gainfield Elementary School serves a demographically similar population yet ranks 33rd statewide and outperforms Long Meadow in every reported subject. Long Meadow also operates with the district's lowest per-pupil spending (about $17,800 versus $20,272 at Pomperaug) and the highest student-teacher ratio (12.3). With attendance already a clear strength and test scores trending upward, closing the gap with Gainfield remains the most meaningful opportunity for improvement.
