Summary

Silvermine Dual Language Magnet School is an elementary school serving 428 students in grades K–5 in Norwalk, CT, operating within the Norwalk School District. One of the school's standout strengths is attendance: its chronic absenteeism rate has dropped dramatically from 19.6% four years ago to just 6.0% in 2025-2026 — far better than the district's 15.4% and the state's 16.4%. This achievement is especially notable given that nearly 58% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch, and it points to strong family engagement and a welcoming school climate.

Academically, the picture is more mixed. In the most recent year, Silvermine's 3rd and 4th graders matched or exceeded district averages in both ELA and math, with 3rd grade math (56.1% proficient) also topping the state average. However, 5th grade performance drops sharply — only 32.3% of 5th graders were proficient in ELA and 27.7% in math, well below district and state averages. One of the school's most impressive results is for Hispanic students, who ranked in the 84th percentile statewide (4 stars) in 2025-2026, a dramatic improvement from the 46th percentile just two years earlier. This suggests the dual language model is a real asset for bilingual learners.

Silvermine faces resource challenges compared with nearby schools. Its student-teacher ratio of 15.2 is the highest among comparable Norwalk elementary schools like Wolfpit Integrated Arts Elementary School (10.4) and Kendall College & Career Academy (10.8), and per-pupil spending of about $16,520 is the lowest in the local group. The contrast is sharpest with neighboring districts: South School and East School in New Canaan spend roughly $22,000 per student and rank in the 99th percentile statewide. Overall, Silvermine has improved from the 16th to the 37th percentile in state rankings and earned a 2-star rating — a school trending upward, with a strong foundation in attendance and bilingual education, but with clear room to grow in upper elementary grades.
