Summary:

The Stratford School District in Connecticut consists of 13 schools, including 9 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 2 high schools. The district as a whole is ranked 137 out of 156 school districts in the state and has a 1-out-of-5-star rating from SchoolDigger.

A few schools in the district stand out as performing better than the district and state averages. Eli Whitney School is an exceptional elementary school, consistently outperforming the district and state in both English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency across all grade levels. Another high-performing elementary school is Wilcoxson School, which also has strong proficiency rates in both subjects. Additionally, Lordship School stands out for its relatively strong 6th-grade Math proficiency.

However, the data also reveals significant disparities between the schools in the district. While some schools excel, others, such as Stratford Academy - Johnson House and Stratford Academy - Victoria Soto School, struggle significantly. The district as a whole faces challenges, including low proficiency rates in both English Language Arts and Mathematics, as well as a high chronic absenteeism rate across all schools. These issues suggest the need for the Stratford School District to implement targeted strategies to support the academic growth of all students.
