Summary

Farmingville Elementary School, located in the suburban town of Ridgefield, Connecticut, serves 311 students in grades PK-5 and is part of the Ridgefield School District, a district ranked 9th out of 153 districts statewide. The school has consistently earned a 5-star rating and ranked 43rd out of 491 Connecticut elementary schools in 2025-2026, placing it in the top 10 percent of schools statewide and keeping it in the top 12 percent for the past decade.

Academically, Farmingville Elementary School students perform well above state averages in English language arts, math, and science. In 2025-2026, 3rd grade ELA proficiency reached 76 percent versus 47 percent statewide, and 5th grade math proficiency has exceeded 87 percent in recent years. The school has shown particular strength in upper-elementary STEM, and it holds its own against other elite nearby schools, posting higher 4th and 5th grade ELA scores than Cider Mill School in Wilton, though Redding Elementary School posted stronger 3rd grade math scores. The contrast with nearby Danbury School District schools like South Street School and Park Avenue School is stark, though those schools serve very different socioeconomic populations.

Farmingville also stands out for its excellent attendance and very low poverty rate, with just 3.2 percent of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, the lowest among Ridgefield elementary schools. Chronic absenteeism is just 3.8 percent compared to 17.2 percent statewide. The school spends about $19,180 per student and maintains a student-teacher ratio of 12.7. Like many smaller schools, Farmingville's statewide ranking fluctuates somewhat year to year due to its modest size, but it remains an excellent, well-supported school with strong outcomes, low absenteeism, and competitive resources compared to other top Connecticut districts.
