About Brunswick School

Brunswick School serves students from pre-kindergarten through grade 12 in Greenwich, Connecticut, a large suburban community in Fairfield County. The school enrolls 1,003 students and maintains a student-teacher ratio of 5.6:1, supported by 179 full-time equivalent teachers. As a regular public school, Brunswick offers a comprehensive program spanning early childhood through secondary education.

The school's ranking places it in the 80th percentile statewide, positioning it as #42 out of 201 schools in Connecticut. This suggests the school performs above many peers across the state, though like many schools it continues to work on academic growth and student development. The school's suburban setting provides a community-oriented environment where families can access services across multiple grade levels under one system.

The relatively small student-teacher ratio of 5.6:1 indicates opportunities for more personalized attention compared to schools with larger ratios. Located at 100 Maher Avenue, Brunswick draws families from the Greenwich area who value local public education options.

What Parents Should Know

With a student-teacher ratio of 5.6:1, Brunswick School offers a notably low ratio compared to the national average. This typically means smaller class sizes and more opportunities for one-on-one interaction between students and teachers.

As a private school, Brunswick School operates independently from the local public school district. Families considering this school should inquire about tuition costs, financial aid availability, and the admissions process. Private schools are not required to follow the same curriculum standards as public schools, which can be either an advantage or a consideration depending on your priorities.
