Roxbury School

372^nd

SchoolDigger Rank ?

of 492 Connecticut Elementary Schools

Better than 24% of Connecticut elementary schools

Summary

Roxbury School is an elementary school in Stamford, CT, serving 509 students in grades K–5 as part of the Stamford School District. The school ranks in the bottom quarter of Connecticut elementary schools — 372 out of 491, or the 24th percentile — for the 2025–2026 school year. A large share of students (59.3%) qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, one of the highest rates among nearby Stamford schools. Roxbury has a relatively low student–teacher ratio (11.8:1) and above-average per-pupil spending (~$19,275), yet academic outcomes remain below state averages in most subjects.

Test scores in English language arts and math are consistently below both the Stamford School District and state averages. For example, only 22.2% of third graders met proficiency in ELA, compared with 30.9% districtwide and 47.3% statewide. The exception is 5th grade science, where Roxbury's 45.3% proficiency exceeded the district average of 41.7% — a genuine bright spot. Chronic absenteeism is a major concern: at 19.5%, it is far higher than nearby schools like Strawberry Hill an ext. of Rogers International (7.1%), Newfield School (9.1%), and Springdale School (11.1%). Attendance has been volatile, dropping to 12.0% in 2024–2025 before jumping back up, which closely tracks the school's academic ups and downs.

Subgroup data reveals significant equity gaps: low-socioeconomic-status students ranked in the 1st percentile statewide and male students in the 6th percentile in 2024–2025. Encouragingly, Hispanic students improved sharply to the 43rd percentile in 2025–2026, showing targeted efforts can work. Compared with demographically similar schools like Hart School (28th percentile) and Stillmeadow School (31st percentile), Roxbury's 24th percentile ranking trails its peers slightly but consistently. Meanwhile, North Mianus School, ranked #1 in Connecticut just miles away, underscores how much of Roxbury's challenge is tied to poverty and attendance instability. The most actionable takeaway is attendance: when chronic absenteeism dropped to 12%, scores improved. Reducing absenteeism and replicating the science success are the clearest paths forward.
