These schools serve grades K-4 and have student populations ranging from 237 to 434 students.

Among the 5 schools, Hop Brook Elementary School and Western School stand out as the top-performing, ranking 286 and 310 out of 493 Connecticut elementary schools, respectively, for the 2024-2025 school year. Hop Brook Elementary School demonstrates the highest proficiency rates in English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics, often exceeding the district and state averages, while Western School shows strong performance in ELA. However, the schools generally underperform compared to the state averages in both ELA and Mathematics proficiency, with Andrew Avenue School having the lowest proficiency rates.

Across the 5 schools, there is a concerning trend of high chronic absenteeism, with all schools reporting a rate of 17.7% for the 2023-2024 school year, which is higher than the state average. Additionally, the schools have a wide range of free/reduced lunch recipients, from 48.39% at Maple Hill School to 70.04% at Salem School, indicating varying levels of economic disadvantage among the student populations. The data suggests a potential relationship between socioeconomic status and academic performance, highlighting the need for targeted interventions and support programs to address the disparities within the Naugatuck School District.
