Summary:
The Danbury School District in Connecticut operates 19 schools, including 15 elementary schools, 3 middle schools, and 1 high school, serving a diverse student population. The district's schools exhibit a wide range of academic performance, with some standout institutions like Westside Middle School Academy, Great Plain School, and Western CT Academy of International Studies Elementary Magnet outperforming the district and state averages in English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency.
The district's student population is predominantly Hispanic, with significant populations of white and Asian students. However, the data reveals significant performance gaps between the highest-performing and lowest-performing schools, which may be linked to socioeconomic factors, as indicated by the wide range of free and reduced lunch rates across the district. While the middle school performance is mixed, with Westside Middle School Academy standing out, the other two middle schools lag behind. The district's early childhood centers may play a crucial role in providing a strong foundation for student success in the later grades.
Overall, the Danbury School District data suggests that with targeted interventions and a focus on equity, the district has the potential to improve the performance of its lower-performing schools and ensure that all students have access to a high-quality education, regardless of their socioeconomic background or school of attendance.
