Summary:
The Greenwich, Connecticut school district consists of 9 schools, including 6 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 1 high school. The district as a whole is ranked 32 out of 158 school districts in Connecticut and is rated 4 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger. While the district has several standout schools, there are also significant disparities in academic performance and resource allocation across the schools.
The top-performing schools in the district are North Street School and Parkway School, both of which are elementary schools ranked in the top 26 out of 497 Connecticut elementary schools and have 5-star ratings from SchoolDigger. These schools boast exceptional test scores, with 78-89% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and Mathematics. In contrast, other schools like New Lebanon School struggle, with only 55% of 3rd graders proficient in English Language Arts, well below the district average of 68%.
The disparities in the Greenwich School District appear to be closely tied to socioeconomic status, with the highest-poverty schools like New Lebanon and Hamilton Avenue School having the lowest test scores. Additionally, the wide range in per-student spending, from $13,446 at Glenville School to $44,272 at New Lebanon School, suggests potential inequities in resource allocation that may be contributing to the achievement gaps across the district.
