Summary:

Stamford School District serves approximately 15,483 students across 21 schools — 13 elementary/K-8 schools, 5 middle schools, and 3 high schools — in Stamford, Connecticut. As a whole, the district ranks 129th out of 153 Connecticut districts (16th percentile, 1 star), placing it well below the state median. The district's graduation rate is 84.7% (state: 91.2%), and chronic absenteeism runs at 19.8% (state: 16.4%). Performance is uneven, however, and a few schools stand out as clear success stories.

The Academy of Information Technology & Engineering (AITE) is the district's top high school, ranking in the 56th percentile with a 97.8% graduation rate and proficiency rates that far exceed Westhill High School and Stamford High School. Scofield Middle School is the only middle school above the state median (51st percentile), with the lowest chronic absenteeism among middle schools (10.4%). At the elementary/K-8 level, Strawberry Hill an ext. of Rogers International and Rogers International School are the strongest options, ranking near the state median and posting 8th-grade science proficiency rates of 67.9% and 65.4%, respectively — well above the district's 40.2% and the state's 50.9%. Both also have among the lowest chronic absenteeism in the district.

Chronic absenteeism is a district-wide challenge, especially at Westhill (33.4%) and Stamford High (28.1%), and math proficiency is a particular weakness at every level. Poverty is widespread — 16 of 21 schools have over 50% of students eligible for free/reduced lunch — yet it doesn't fully explain outcomes: AITE performs well despite 48.2% poverty. Higher spending also doesn't guarantee results; Newfield School spends the most per student ($20,170) but ranks in the 32nd percentile, while Rogers International has the district's highest student-teacher ratio yet performs strongly. For parents, the data suggests that specialized programs like AITE, Scofield, and the Rogers/Strawberry Hill K-8 pathways offer the most promising options within this district.
