For the purpose of comparison with the achievement levels of similar schools, the state Department of Education classifies schools and communities in "District Reference Groups", defined as "districts whose students' families are similar in eduation, income, occupation and need, and that have roughly similar enrollment".[1] Ridgefield is one of eight school districts in District Reference Group A (others are Darien, Easton, New Canaan, Redding, Weston, Westport, and Wilton).[2]
