Our public schools are ranked among the best in Fairfield County and the nation, with above-average test scores. Greenwich students outperform their national peers on SAT and AP tests. But it’s not just the students who are high achievers. An impressive 87 percent of our public school teachers have master’s degrees. https://www.greenwichschools.org/
Town Hall
The town is known for its fiscal conservatism and its system of checks and balances. A modified pay-as-you-go policy has avoided burdening the budget with bonded indebtedness, with the result that Greenwich has some of the lowest property taxes in the state – while the grant list of $33 billion is the highest of any of Connecticut’s towns and cities. http://www.greenwichct.org/
