Summary

Daniels Farm School is a K-5 elementary school in suburban Trumbull, CT, serving 484 students. It holds a 5-star SchoolDigger rating, ranks #21 of 491 Connecticut elementary schools (96th percentile), and is the highest-ranked elementary school in the Trumbull School District. That ranking is not a one-year blip: the school has earned a 5-star rating every recorded year since at least 2015-2016 and ranked in the top 12 almost every year from 2016-2017 through 2023-2024.

Academically, Daniels Farm posts proficiency rates far above both district and state averages in every grade and subject. In the latest 2025-2026 testing year, 3rd grade ELA proficiency reached 83.5% versus 47.3% statewide, and 4th grade math reached 88.6% versus 52.1% statewide. Chronic absenteeism is dramatically low at 2.1%, compared with 6.7% for the district and 17.2% statewide. Among Trumbull peers, the closest competitors trail noticeably: Middlebrook School ranks #67 and Tashua School ranks #72 for 2025-2026. While Tashua edges out Daniels Farm in a few individual categories — such as 4th grade math (89.9% vs. 88.6%) and 5th grade science — consistency across all grades and subjects sets Daniels Farm apart. Wilbur Cross School in Bridgeport, just three miles away, has a chronic absenteeism rate of 38.8% and near-zero proficiency in some tested areas.

Daniels Farm also performs well for specific student groups. Its female students were ranked #1 in Connecticut in 2024-2025, and its special education students ranked #2 statewide in 2020-2021. These outcomes are not explained by extra resources: the student-teacher ratio of 15.1 and per-student spending of roughly $15,516 are in line with Frenchtown Elementary School, which has a lower ratio (12.6) yet trails far behind academically. The school serves a relatively advantaged population, with the lowest free/reduced-price lunch rate (10.7%) among local peers, but its strong subgroup rankings suggest it supports a wide range of learners well.
