Summary

Booth Hill School is a K-5 elementary school in Trumbull, CT, serving 522 students, making it the largest elementary school in the Trumbull School District. The school currently earns 4 stars from SchoolDigger, ranking 106th out of 491 Connecticut elementary schools (78th percentile) — a solid, above-average performance, but a clear step down from its former elite status. Between 2015-16 and 2018-19, Booth Hill was a 5-star school ranking as high as 22nd statewide; since 2020-21, it has settled into the 80–108 range. Within Trumbull, it sits in the middle of the pack: behind Daniels Farm School and Middlebrook School, nearly tied with Frenchtown Elementary School, and ahead of Jane Ryan School.

Where Booth Hill truly shines is 5th-grade science, where 86.8% of students met proficiency in 2025-26 — well above the district average of 79.6% and the state average of 52.9%, and better than every nearby Trumbull school. The school also boasts remarkably low chronic absenteeism (5.2% vs. 16.4% statewide) and a modest free/reduced lunch rate of 16.9%. In both ELA and math, Booth Hill runs roughly 17–22 points above the Connecticut state average, though it trails the Trumbull district average by 4–5 points. The contrast with nearby Bridgeport schools like Wilbur Cross School, Thomas Hooker School, Park City Magnet School, and Hallen School is stark, but those schools serve very different populations.

The biggest area for concern is 4th grade, where Booth Hill posted the lowest proficiency rates among Trumbull elementary schools: 62.6% in ELA and 70.7% in math, compared with district averages of 73.9% and 79.7%. By contrast, Daniels Farm School, just 1.5 miles away, posted 4th-grade scores of 87.5% and 88.6% in those same subjects. Booth Hill's student-teacher ratio of 15.4 is also on the higher side among district peers. With strong attendance but only mid-tier results within a high-performing district, the school's most pressing opportunity is strengthening early and middle elementary instruction — particularly in 4th grade — to reclaim its former 5-star standing.

What people are saying

by a parent
Sunday, December 20, 2009

There are reasons why people move from one geographical area to another. We moved from NYC to Trumbull and have never looked back. Booth Hill Elementary has a wonderful principal that looks after the children so well, that you find it more family oriented than anything else, with a primary focus on education... with a focus on the individual student when called for. The teachers are amazing and if leaving NYC means we don't have access to the best eateries in the country, then it is far exceeded by the education and care given by the teachers in this school.

I can't impress upon people that don't know this school, the educators or the area in general, how amazing it is to come home to a happy child that is excited to go to school everyday. This is one place I can honestly say that your tax money actually goes to something and it truly makes a difference.

Life is too short to settle for something substandard for your child... the commute is well worth it. Our involvement in this community will only grow with time and we love contributing to anything that has to do with the school, especially if it involves volunteers. The interaction is something that you enjoy beyond words.
