Summary

Sarah Noble Intermediate School serves 753 students in grades 3–5 in New Milford, CT, and is the New Milford School District's only intermediate school, making its test results essentially the district's elementary-level report card. Attendance is a genuine bright spot: chronic absenteeism has fallen from 15.1% in 2021–2022 to 10.5% in 2024–2025, consistently below both district and state averages. This suggests the school's academic challenges are not primarily driven by students missing class.

Academically, the picture is mixed. Third-grade math is the weakest area, with 35.1% proficiency versus 52.2% statewide, and 5th-grade math has remained stuck in the mid-30s for years, running 9–12 points behind the state average. Science is a relative strength, coming within 2 points of the state average in recent years. Nearby comparison schools post considerably stronger results: New Fairfield Elementary School ranks in the 71st percentile statewide, Candlewood Lake Elementary School in the 55th, and Sherman School is 5th in the state — while Sarah Noble sits at the 34th percentile.

The school's effectiveness varies notably by student group, with Hispanic students and students from low-income families performing near or above the statewide median for their subgroups while other groups lag further behind state peers — a pattern that suggests certain instructional approaches are working well for some students and may hold lessons for the rest of the school. With a free/reduced-price lunch rate of 34.4%, Sarah Noble sits in the middle of the regional economic spectrum; per-pupil spending of $15,622 is higher than Danbury schools like Stadley Rough School and Pembroke School but far below the small, top-ranked schools in nearby towns. Overall, Sarah Noble offers strong attendance, a solid science program, and meaningful pockets of success, but persistent gaps in 3rd- and 5th-grade math are the clearest areas needing attention.
