Summary:

Zip code 06473 in North Haven, Connecticut, is served by four public elementary schools—Ridge Road Elementary School, Green Acres Elementary School, Clintonville Elementary School, and Montowese Elementary School—all part of the North Haven School District, serving grades PK–5 with a combined enrollment of 1,496 students. The district is ranked 39th out of 153 Connecticut districts, and all four schools perform above the state average, though there are meaningful differences in rankings, academic performance, attendance, and spending among them.

Green Acres Elementary School stands out as the clear academic leader with a state rank of 49th (90th percentile, 5 stars), the strongest ELA scores in the zip code, and the highest reported science proficiency at 77.3%. Montowese Elementary School is the most improved, climbing from 133rd to 81st over three years, and features the smallest class sizes (10.5:1) and highest per-student spending ($17,327). Clintonville Elementary School shows a concerning trend, with rankings declining for three consecutive years from 63rd to 118th, including a sharp 4th grade ELA drop from 81.5% to 65.5%. Ridge Road Elementary School has the most complex profile: it has the lowest poverty rate but the highest chronic absenteeism (10.9%), while still maintaining a solid 92nd state ranking.

All four schools have chronic absenteeism well below the state average of 16.4%, and all score far above state proficiency averages in reading, math, and science. Interestingly, spending and staffing do not clearly predict performance—Montowese Elementary School spends the most per student and has the smallest classes, yet Green Acres Elementary School outranks it. Clintonville Elementary School's decline is especially notable because it has the best attendance and second-smallest class sizes. For families, all four schools are strong options: Green Acres for overall academics, Montowese for math and small classes, Ridge Road for a more affluent environment, and Clintonville for very low absenteeism.
