Summary

Daisy Ingraham School serves 292 students in grades PK–5 in Westbrook, CT, and is part of the Westbrook School District, which ranks 41st out of 153 districts statewide. The school has climbed steadily in Connecticut's elementary school rankings over the past three years, rising to 172nd place (65th percentile) for 2025–2026. Test scores consistently exceed state averages, and the school stands out for its exceptionally low student-teacher ratio of 8.7 and high per-pupil spending of $24,087—both among the most generous in the region when compared with nearby schools like Dr. Robert H. Brown Elementary School (11.0 ratio) and Killingworth Elementary School (11.1).

One of the most distinctive aspects of Daisy Ingraham is its student population: 37.3% qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, a far higher rate than most neighboring schools (Dr. Robert H. Brown has just 4.2%, and Mile Creek School 9.6%). Despite this economic diversity, the school achieves solid academic results that often rival or beat wealthier districts. Chronic absenteeism, however, is the clearest concern—at 10.5%, it is the highest among nearby schools and rose sharply from 6.6% the previous year, though it remains below the state average of 16.4%.

Academically, math and science are clear strengths. Fifth grade math proficiency is 63.8% versus 45.8% statewide, and 5th grade science reaches 70.2% proficiency. Fourth graders also shine, with 71.8% proficient in ELA and 69.2% in math, beating many neighboring schools. The one relative weakness is 3rd grade ELA at 50.0%, barely above the state average and well behind Chester Elementary School (70.6%) and Deep River Elementary School (69.0%). With three consecutive years of improvement and strong subgroup gains, Daisy Ingraham is a school moving in the right direction—though early literacy and attendance remain the areas to watch.
