Summary

Jane Ryan School is a K–5 elementary school in Trumbull, CT, serving 438 students in the Trumbull School District, a district ranked 23rd out of 153 in Connecticut. Jane Ryan School was once among the top elementary schools in the state, earning 5 stars and a 96th percentile ranking as recently as 2015–16, but it has declined steadily since then. In 2025–26, the school ranked in the 73rd percentile — the lowest among its Trumbull elementary peers.

Jane Ryan still performs well above state averages in every subject, but it now trails the district average in nearly all of them. In 5th grade ELA, 67.5% of Jane Ryan students were proficient versus 78.0% district-wide; in 4th grade math, the figures were 75.9% versus 79.7%. The gap with top nearby schools is larger: Daniels Farm School posted 83.5% 3rd grade ELA proficiency versus Jane Ryan's 59.0%, and Tashua School reached 89.9% 4th grade math proficiency versus 75.9%. Even Frenchtown Elementary School and Booth Hill School outperform Jane Ryan in 5th grade ELA (83.9% and 80.2% vs. 67.5%). Compared to nearby Bridgeport schools, however, Jane Ryan's results are far stronger, and its chronic absenteeism rate of 5.6% is dramatically lower than the state average of 16.4%.

Jane Ryan spends more per student ($16,443) than any other Trumbull elementary school, yet it has one of the least favorable student-teacher ratios and the lowest state ranking among its peers. Its free/reduced-price lunch rate of 16.44% is mid-range for Trumbull — higher than Daniels Farm School (10.74%) and Tashua School (13.45%), similar to Booth Hill School (16.86%), and lower than Frenchtown Elementary School (27.13%) and Middlebrook School (24.9%). Notably, Frenchtown and Middlebrook achieve similar or better results despite higher poverty rates. In short, Jane Ryan remains a good school by state standards, but it is losing ground within a very competitive and high-achieving district.
