Summary:
The Danbury School District in Connecticut is home to three middle schools: Broadview Middle School, Rogers Park Middle School, and Westside Middle School Academy. These schools serve students in grades 6-8 and provide a range of educational opportunities within the district.
Among the three middle schools, Westside Middle School Academy stands out as the top performer. It has the highest statewide school ranking, with a ranking of 136th out of 252 Connecticut middle schools for the 2024-2025 school year, compared to 212th for Broadview Middle School and 198th for Rogers Park Middle School. Westside Middle School Academy also boasts significantly higher percentages of students proficient or better in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science compared to the district and state averages.
While the Danbury School District as a whole is ranked 136th out of 156 districts in Connecticut and is rated 1 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger, indicating it is a lower-performing district, the data suggests that there may be opportunities for the district to learn from the practices and strategies employed at Westside Middle School Academy and apply them to the other middle schools to improve overall district performance. Additionally, the high chronic absenteeism rates across all three middle schools is a concern that the district should address to enhance student outcomes.
