Summary

Tashua School is a K–5 elementary school in Trumbull, CT, serving 394 students as part of the highly regarded Trumbull School District, which ranks in the top 15% of Connecticut districts. For most of the past decade, Tashua has been one of the state's top elementary schools, earning five-star ratings and ranking as high as 10th in Connecticut. In the 2025-2026 school year, however, the school's state ranking dropped to 72nd out of 491 elementary schools (85th percentile). While that is still solidly above average, it marks the school's largest relative decline in recent years.

The good news for parents is that the decline appears to be driven by a single cohort rather than a school-wide problem. Tashua's 4th and 5th graders continue to post excellent scores, with 4th-grade math proficiency at 89.9% compared to 52.1% statewide, and 5th-grade math at 83.9% — 11 points above the district average. The current 3rd grade, however, scored just 60.8% in English language arts, below the district average of 64.5% and far behind Daniels Farm School's 83.5%. Chronic absenteeism is another standout strength: at just 3.5%, it is less than a quarter of the statewide rate of 16.4%, reflecting highly engaged families.

Tashua is no longer the top-ranked elementary school in its own district — Daniels Farm School now ranks 21st statewide and Middlebrook School 67th, both ahead of Tashua's 72nd-place finish. Still, Tashua remains well above most regional peers and far ahead of John Winthrop School in nearby Bridgeport, where 4th-grade math proficiency is just 29.0% and chronic absenteeism is 22.9%. With its low poverty rate (13.45% free/reduced lunch), strong upper-grade math, and excellent attendance, Tashua remains a strong choice for families — though the 3rd-grade dip and growing competition within Trumbull are worth watching.
