Summary

Stadley Rough School is an elementary school serving grades K-5 with 479 students in Danbury, CT, and is part of the Danbury School District. The school currently ranks 397th out of 491 Connecticut elementary schools, placing it in the 19th percentile with a 1-star rating, and this low ranking is not a one-year anomaly—Stadley Rough has consistently ranked between the 18th and 29th percentiles statewide over the past decade. Academic proficiency falls below both district and state averages in nearly every subject and grade tested, with math gaps especially stark: 4th grade math trails the district by 20 percentage points, and 5th grade math trails the state by more than 27 points.

Among nearby comparable schools, Stadley Rough School is the lowest-ranked elementary school in the 2025–26 school year. It ranks 397th, while Morris Street School ranks 381st, Park Avenue School ranks 379th, and Hayestown Avenue School ranks 358th. The contrast with Great Plain School is particularly striking: located just 0.89 miles away in the same district, Great Plain ranks in the 66th percentile and exceeds Connecticut state averages in many subjects. Candlewood Lake Elementary School, just 1.15 miles away in the Brookfield School District, ranks in the 55th percentile.

There are some encouraging signs. Chronic absenteeism at Stadley Rough is just 8.0%, well below the district's 14.7% and the state's 16.4%, and has fallen dramatically from 17.9% a few years ago. However, strong attendance has not translated into strong achievement. Math proficiency erodes as students move through the grades, falling from 34.8% in 3rd grade to 27.1% in 4th grade and just 18.2% in 5th grade. The student-teacher ratio of 15.5 is higher than most nearby schools, and per-pupil spending of $12,403 is nearly identical to Great Plain's $12,400, suggesting that raw funding alone does not explain the performance gap between these two schools.
