GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Cranbury is widely regarded as the best elementary school in Norwalk. Many people from outside the district attempt to get their kids into Cranbury. The teachers in my daughter's first three years so far have been beyond excellent. They are friendly, challenge the students, and maintain discipline in the classroom. Great community feel and parents are involved.
