Summary

Rochambeau Middle School serves grades 6–8 in Southbury, Connecticut, as one of two middle schools in Regional School District 15, enrolling about 412 students. The school is a consistently above-average performer in the state, ranking 63rd out of 258 Connecticut middle schools in the 76th percentile with a 4-star rating. Proficiency rates in the latest SBAC results are well above state averages: roughly 61% in both ELA and math, compared with 51.5% and 43.5% statewide, and 8th grade science proficiency is 69.1% versus 50.9% statewide.

Rochambeau stands out within its own district as the higher-performing school, outpacing Memorial Middle School in the overall state ranking (63 vs. 83) and in most grade-level subjects, particularly 6th grade ELA (68.9% vs. 53.7%) and 6th grade math (67.9% vs. 54.1%). The current 6th grade cohort is exceptionally strong across all subjects. Attendance is a clear strength, with chronic absenteeism at 8.3%, well below the state average of 16.4%. That said, several nearby schools rank higher, including Newtown Middle School (29th) and Jockey Hollow School (40th), while Rochambeau spends more per pupil ($19,123) than most of its peers, so additional spending has not lifted it to the very top tier of the region.

Underneath the strong overall averages, subgroup performance varies considerably. Female students rank in the 77th percentile statewide, while male students rank in the 60th percentile and White students in the 44th percentile. With a relatively small student body of about 412 spread across three grades, year-to-year swings in scores and rankings are expected — 8th grade science proficiency, for instance, has swung from 54.5% to 80.2% to 66.1% in recent years. Overall, Rochambeau is a solid, well-resourced school with above-average achievement and excellent attendance; its ongoing challenges are sustaining strong results across all grade levels and closing the gaps between different groups of students.
