Rogers Park Middle School

Public Grades 6-8

210^th

SchoolDigger Rank ?

of 258 Connecticut Middle Schools

Better than 19% of Connecticut middle schools

Summary

Rogers Park Middle School is a large public middle school in Danbury, CT, serving 888 students in grades 6–8, where about 58% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch. Part of the Danbury School District, the school has consistently ranked in the bottom quintile of Connecticut middle schools for a decade, currently placing 210th out of 258 schools (19th percentile) with a 1-star rating on SchoolDigger. Rogers Park trails the district and state averages by wide margins in every subject and grade.

On the 2025–26 SBAC assessments, ELA proficiency ranges from 24.2% in 8th grade to 35% in 6th grade, while math proficiency is far lower at 12.6% to 15.2%, compared to state averages of roughly 51% for ELA and 43% for math. The most instructive comparison is with Westside Middle School Academy, a nearby Danbury school with similar poverty levels that achieves roughly double the ELA proficiency and two to three times the math proficiency of Rogers Park — despite having a higher student-teacher ratio and lower per-pupil spending. Rogers Park also shows a troubling pattern: 6th graders are the strongest cohort and 8th graders the weakest, suggesting learning gaps compound as students advance.

There are real bright spots. Chronic absenteeism has dropped from 29.3% in 2021–22 to 13.7% in 2025–26, now better than both the district and state averages, and 6th-grade ELA has improved. However, these gains have not yet lifted math scores, which remain in the low teens. Rogers Park closely mirrors Broadview Middle School in demographics, spending, and performance, suggesting the challenges are district-wide rather than unique to this school. The key question moving forward is why Westside Middle School Academy outperforms Rogers Park so dramatically with a similar student population — the answer likely lies in school model, curriculum, and culture rather than resources.
