Stamford School District

Stamford School District serves 16,185 students across 21 schools in Connecticut's Western Planning Region. The district experienced a 1.4% enrollment increase from the prior year, suggesting relative stability in student population. The school configuration includes 13 elementary schools, 5 middle schools, and 3 high schools.

Academic performance measures indicate significant gaps relative to Connecticut state averages. Math proficiency stands at 32.8% compared to the state average of 50.1%, while reading proficiency is 36.4% against a state average of 55.5%. The graduation rate of 79.5% falls notably below the state average of 90.6%. Chronic absenteeism is present at 19.4%, which may contribute to academic outcomes.

The district serves a student population with substantial demographic complexity. Approximately 54.2% of students qualify as economically disadvantaged, 19.3% are English learners, and 17.5% receive special education services. These demographic factors typically correlate with additional resource needs.

Per-pupil spending of $23,201 aligns closely with the state average of $23,243, indicating comparable resource allocation despite divergent academic outcomes. The data shows no teacher count information available. The combination of below-average proficiency rates, lower graduation rate, and high-need student demographics suggests the district faces considerable instructional and support challenges relative to state performance benchmarks.
