Summary

Davenport Ridge School is a K–5 elementary school in Stamford, CT, serving 673 students in a community where about 41% of students qualify for free/reduced lunch. The school earns a 2-star rating, ranking 305 out of 491 Connecticut elementary schools (38th percentile) — making it the second-highest-rated elementary among its Stamford peers, behind only Strawberry Hill. Within the Stamford School District, which ranks in the bottom 16% of Connecticut districts, the school stands out as a relative bright spot, outperforming most nearby Stamford schools including Newfield School, Northeast School, Springdale School, Roxbury School, Julia A. Stark School, and Toquam Magnet School. Chronic absenteeism is a clear positive: at 12.3%, it's far better than the district average of 19.8% and the state average of 16.4%.

Academically, Davenport Ridge generally beats its district averages but trails Connecticut state averages in most subjects. The exception is 5th grade: 5th-grade math (47.1% proficient) and science (54.8% proficient) both exceed state averages, and science proficiency has climbed from 41.7% three years ago. Fifth-grade ELA (51%) is close to the state average (53.5%). By contrast, 4th grade is the weak spot — 4th-grade ELA (28.7% proficient) falls below the district average (32.5%), while 4th-grade math (37.6%) ties the district but trails the state (52.1%). These 4th-grade scores swing widely by year, suggesting they may reflect specific cohorts more than a systemic issue.

Compared with schools just a few miles away in Darien and New Canaan — like Holmes Elementary School, Ox Ridge Elementary School, and West School — Davenport Ridge serves a very different population, with higher poverty, lower per-pupil spending (about $16,965), and the highest student-teacher ratio among nearby schools (14.2:1). Yet despite fewer resources, the school is improving: its statewide rank has risen from the 27th percentile in 2016–17 to the 38th percentile today, and chronic absenteeism has fallen steadily since 2022–23. Subgroup outcomes, however, remain volatile, especially for Hispanic and low-income students. Overall, Davenport Ridge is a solid, improving school that punches above its weight within a struggling district.
