Summary

Silvermine Dual Language Magnet School is an elementary school located in Norwalk, Connecticut, serving grades K-5 with a total enrollment of 427 students. The school is part of the Norwalk School District, which is ranked 118 out of 156 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite being a dual language magnet school, Silvermine Dual Language Magnet School has consistently underperformed compared to the district and the state of Connecticut in both English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 52.1% of 3rd graders were proficient or better in ELA, compared to 46.9% statewide. The school's performance is particularly concerning for certain student subgroups, such as female and male students, as well as English Language Learners and Special Education students, all of which have been ranked in the bottom 30% of Connecticut elementary schools in recent years.

When comparing Silvermine Dual Language Magnet School to other nearby schools in the Norwalk School District, it becomes clear that the school is underperforming. For instance, Concord Magnet School, another public magnet school in the district, consistently outperforms Silvermine Dual Language Magnet School in both ELA and Mathematics. The high rates of chronic absenteeism and the large percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds at Silvermine Dual Language Magnet School may be contributing factors to its underperformance, and the school may need to implement targeted interventions and support systems to address these challenges.
