Middle Schools in Stafford School District

Summary:

Stafford School District in Connecticut has only one middle school, Stafford Middle School, which serves grades 6-8. While the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 9.7, its overall performance is average, ranking 124 out of 252 Connecticut middle schools for the 2024-2025 school year with a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Stafford Middle School's test scores in English Language Arts and Mathematics are generally below the state average, with some exceptions in 7th and 8th grade Math. The school also has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 17.7%, which is higher than the state average. Additionally, a significant portion of the student population (48.17%) receives free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively high level of economic disadvantage among the students.

Despite the school's lower-than-average performance, it does have some positive metrics, such as the low student-teacher ratio, which may allow for more individualized attention and support for students. However, addressing the school's academic achievement, attendance issues, and the needs of its economically disadvantaged student population could be crucial for Stafford School District to improve the overall quality of education in the area.
