Our oldest son is completing his 2nd year at DFS and we couldn't be more pleased with this Trumbull elementary school. The environment is academically exceptional and each teacher, specialist and administrator demonstrates the utmost in professional enthusiasm with respect to their individualized craft. When our child is at DFS, We know he is in the next best set of hands beside our own. They nurture and cultivate in such a way that it feels like your child is their number one, most important priority. This school is truly a gem of the town.

I went to Daniels Farm when I was in elementary school and I moved to Florida. The schools here don't compare to Daniels Farm, it's the best school in the world! - 6th grade

Amazing! The teachers were fantastic, there were no problems, I loved it! The extracurricular activities are unbeleivable! They made learning fun and easy even though they aren't exactly rich. I had a great time from start to finish! The PTA organized so many events that the PTA was practically the leaders! Many kids scored high on tests, much more than any other school I've seen in my life!
