North Street School

North Street School serves 396 students in prekindergarten through fifth grade in Greenwich, Connecticut. As a regular public elementary school, it earns a composite score of 9.2 out of 10 — a rating MySchoolScout labels Exceptional — built on a 9.5 academic score and an 8.9 growth score. Those numbers aren't just strong in isolation.

North Street ranks 17th out of 990 public schools statewide, placing it in the top 2% of all Connecticut public schools. Within Greenwich itself, North Street holds the second spot among nine public schools — the district's top-ranked elementary option. The school runs a 12.8-to-1 student-teacher ratio, allowing more individual attention than most public elementary schools can provide.

Academic scores capture current grade-level proficiency; the 8.9 growth score adds a second signal — students here advance faster than comparable peers, a sign of instructional quality that goes beyond demographics or zip code. For parents comparing public elementary options across the state, North Street ranks 16th among 595 elementary schools in Connecticut. That dual standing — dominant within Greenwich, elite across the full state pool — is uncommon.

Most high-performing neighborhood schools look far less competitive once measured against every public elementary school in the state.
