About Farmingville Elementary School
Farmingville Elementary School serves 321 students in pre-kindergarten through fifth grade in Ridgefield, Connecticut. Its composite score of 9.2 out of 10 earns an Exceptional rating — placing it #1 among the nine public schools in Ridgefield and #21 out of 990 public schools across the state. That ranking puts Farmingville ahead of 98% of Connecticut schools, a result the data consistently supports across multiple performance dimensions.
On academics, the school scores 9.7 out of 10. Its growth score of 9.4 carries equal weight: students here make measurable gains year over year, which indicates that high performance runs through the school rather than clustering in a single grade or cohort. A student-teacher ratio of 12.3:1 reinforces that picture — smaller class sizes in the foundational years give teachers the room to work with students individually as they build core literacy and numeracy skills.
Farmingville operates as a regular public school, open to all students in the Ridgefield district. For families comparing elementary options in Connecticut, few schools deliver top-decile academic scores alongside equally strong growth numbers. This is one of the clearest high-performer signals in the state.
