Summary

Coleytown Elementary School is a K-5 school in Westport, CT, serving 461 students within the highly regarded Westport School District. Historically one of the top elementary schools in Connecticut—ranking as high as #7 in 2018-19—its state ranking has slipped significantly. In 2025-26, Coleytown ranked #77 out of 491 elementary schools, down from #44 in 2024-25 and #21 in 2023-24. This makes it the lowest-ranked elementary school in the Westport district, trailing Saugatuck Elementary School, Green's Farms School, Long Lots School, and King's Highway Elementary School. Despite this decline, it remains in the 84th percentile statewide with a 4-star rating.

The most pressing academic concern is mathematics, where proficiency rates are below the district average in every grade level. For instance, 3rd-grade math proficiency is 68.9% versus the district's 79.2%, and 4th-grade math trails all other Westport elementary schools. Fourth-grade English Language Arts is another relative weak spot, with 77.1% proficiency compared to the district's 82.3%. On a positive note, science is a clear strength: 5th-grade science proficiency reached 84.5% in 2024-25, the highest among Westport elementary schools and well above the district average of 76.1%.

There are also notable patterns in student performance and attendance. While male students have remained consistently strong (ranking #27 statewide), female students saw a sharp drop from #22 to #80, suggesting a differential experience the school should investigate. Chronic absenteeism, while relatively low at 6.3%, is the highest among Westport elementary peers (who range from 1.1% to 5.3%). Looking at the broader area, Coleytown continues to substantially outperform nearby Norwalk schools like Cranbury Elementary School and Wolfpit Integrated Arts Elementary School. However, it now trails regional neighbors like Weston Intermediate School and Dwight Elementary School in Fairfield. These recent trends appear tied to instructional or cohort-specific factors rather than funding or class sizes, as the school maintains a low student-to-teacher ratio of 11.3 and per-pupil spending above $22,000. Targeted attention to math, 4th-grade literacy, and subgroup-specific performance could help Coleytown regain its top-tier status.
