Summary

Northeast School is a K–5 elementary school in Stamford, CT serving 436 students within the Stamford School District. The school holds a 2-star rating and ranks 340th of 491 Connecticut elementary schools, a modest step above the district's overall 1-star standing. Proficiency rates at Northeast School generally fall below state averages but often meet or exceed Stamford district averages—particularly in math, where 4th grade proficiency reached 45.8% versus the district's 37.6%.

Attendance is a clear bright spot: chronic absenteeism is just 12.9%, compared with 19.8% for the district and 16.4% statewide, suggesting that missing school is not a major barrier here. Northeast also spends about $19,646 per student, higher than most Stamford elementary schools, though this has not produced standout results. The student-teacher ratio has risen from 9.8 to 12.7 over two years, signaling larger classes. While Northeast serves fewer low-income students (40.4% free/reduced lunch) than nearby peers like Roxbury School (59.3%) and Toquam Magnet School (63.9%), it does not outperform them academically; Davenport Ridge School, with a nearly identical poverty rate, ranks higher.

The most serious concern is the extreme achievement gap for vulnerable students: low-income students rank in the bottom 1st percentile statewide, and English learners in the 3rd. Within a few miles, affluent neighbors offer a stark contrast—South School in the New Canaan School District posts 89.7% 3rd-grade ELA proficiency versus Northeast's 33.3%, and Ox Ridge Elementary School in the Darien School District has just 2.4% chronic absenteeism. These striking contrasts reflect deep income and resource divides that reach beyond any single school's efforts.

What people are saying

by a parent
Friday, February 10, 2023

I write this review to help other parents. In this school they have an evil person as the leader of the kindergarteners, someone who does not tolerate children and who behaves with hatred and contempt towards a 5-year-old child. There is something very wrong in a human being like that. This person should not dedicate herself to children because she does not have the patience and ethics to be around young age kids. The way this woman acts fits better to be in guantanamo. Unions protect these abusers so parents must warn others to protect their young children. Close Quote
