Summary

Middlebrook School is a K–5 elementary school in Trumbull, Connecticut, serving 502 students as part of the Trumbull School District, which ranks 23rd out of 153 districts statewide. Middlebrook holds a consistent 4-star rating and ranked 67th out of 491 Connecticut elementary schools in 2025–2026, placing it in the 86th percentile. Its most distinctive strength is exceptional support for economically disadvantaged students: the school ranked #1 in Connecticut for outcomes among low-socioeconomic-status students, despite having one of the highest free/reduced lunch rates (24.9%) among Trumbull elementary schools.

In the early grades, Middlebrook shines. In 2025–2026, 3rd grade ELA proficiency reached 71.3% versus 64.5% for the district and 47.3% statewide, while 4th grade math hit 80.9% versus 79.7% district and 52.1% state. The main relative weakness emerges by 5th grade, especially in STEM: 5th grade science has trailed the district average for four straight years (72.4% vs. 79.6% in 2025–2026), and 5th grade math has also dipped slightly. Even so, Middlebrook outperformed nearby Jane Ryan School in every tested grade and subject, despite serving a higher share of low-income students.

Attendance is healthy, with a chronic absenteeism rate of 7.2% — far better than the state average of 16.4%, though slightly above the district's 5.8%. The school also rebounded impressively from the pandemic, rising from a 121st-place rank in 2020–2021 to a stable top-15% position in recent years. Subgroup results are strong: White students ranked in the 90th percentile statewide, and historical data show excellent outcomes for Hispanic and special education students. With a favorable 13.6 student-teacher ratio and a proven track record of success across diverse student groups, Middlebrook stands out as a strong, stable choice for families.
