Summary

Frenchtown Elementary School in Trumbull, CT, is a K–5 school serving 516 students in one of Connecticut's strongest districts. The school holds a 4-star rating and ranks 105th out of 491 elementary schools statewide (79th percentile), putting it well ahead of most schools in the region. It is part of the Trumbull School District, which ranks 23rd out of 153 districts in Connecticut.

What makes Frenchtown stand out? Fifth-grade reading and science scores are exceptional — 83.9% of 5th graders are proficient in ELA and 85.1% in science, both far above state averages and above Trumbull peers including Jane Ryan School and Middlebrook School. The school also keeps chronic absenteeism remarkably low at 6.5%, compared with the state average of 16.4%, and maintains a favorable student–teacher ratio of 12.6 to 1. Notably, Frenchtown outperforms Jane Ryan, a nearby Trumbull school, despite serving a higher percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (27.1% vs. 16.4%) and spending less per pupil.

The school's most impressive story is its results for students who often face additional barriers. Hispanic students rank 5th out of 129 schools statewide (96th percentile), and low-income students rank 2nd out of 77 schools (97th percentile) — evidence that this school is genuinely effective for every child. These results stand in stark contrast to nearby Bridgeport School District schools like Wilbur Cross School, Madison School, and Blackham School, where proficiency rates and attendance are far lower. The only area worth watching is a dip in 3rd-grade ELA scores in 2025–2026 (53.8% proficient), but given the school's strong trajectory through 5th grade and its track record of success, Frenchtown remains an excellent choice for families.
