These schools, part of the Greenwich School District, consistently rank among the best in the state and provide a world-class education to their students.

North Mianus School and Riverside School are the standout elementary schools, ranking 1st and 3rd respectively out of 493 Connecticut elementary schools for the 2024-2025 school year. These schools have maintained their top rankings for several years, demonstrating their sustained excellence. Eastern Middle School is also a standout, ranking 2nd out of 252 Connecticut middle schools for the 2024-2025 school year and holding this top position for the past three school years.

The schools in the 06878 zip code boast exceptional academic performance, with significantly higher proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science compared to district and state averages. Additionally, these schools have low student-teacher ratios, high per-student spending, and relatively low percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting they serve a relatively affluent student population. However, the data also reveals higher-than-average chronic absenteeism rates, which warrants further investigation to understand the underlying factors impacting student attendance in these high-performing institutions.
