Summary

King Street Intermediate School is a public elementary school serving grades 4-5 in the Danbury School District in Connecticut, with 353 students enrolled. However, the school consistently underperforms compared to the district and state averages on standardized tests, with only 29.3% of 4th graders and 28.2% of 5th graders proficient or better in English Language Arts, and similarly low math proficiency rates.

King Street Intermediate School also faces challenges with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 11.6% to 20% over the past few years, and a high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 47.3% to 53.26% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. These factors contribute to the school's struggles, as it ranks in the bottom 25% of King Street Intermediate School for the academic achievement of various student subgroups, including females, males, whites, and low-socioeconomic status students.

Interestingly, nearby schools in the Danbury School District, such as Hayestown Avenue School, Morris Street School, and Ellsworth Avenue School, perform significantly better than King Street Intermediate School. Additionally, the Western CT Academy of International Studies Elementary Magnet School, also part of the Danbury district, outperforms the district as a whole, suggesting that the magnet school model may be more effective at supporting student achievement in the area.
