Summary

Springdale School is a K–5 elementary school in Stamford, Connecticut, serving about 565 students within the Stamford School District. The school ranks in the 27th percentile statewide — 357th out of 491 elementary schools — and more than half of its students (56.3%) qualify for free or reduced-price lunch. The biggest bright spot is attendance: only 11.1% of students were chronically absent in 2025–26, well below the district's 19.8% and the state's 16.4%. This pattern has held for five straight years, suggesting an engaged school community.

Academically, Springdale is a mixed picture. Third grade is the weakest point: ELA proficiency sits at 25.9%, versus 30.9% for the district and 47.3% statewide. By 4th and 5th grade, however, students meet or exceed district averages in reading and math. Fourth grade is a real strength — 40% proficient in ELA and 43.5% in math, each about six points above the district. Science is an overlooked weakness at 35.7%, compared to 41.7% districtwide. The most urgent concern is the gender gap: effectiveness for male students ranks in the bottom 10% of Connecticut elementary schools, while the school's results for Hispanic and low-income students are stronger than its overall rank suggests.

Among Stamford neighbors, Springdale is middle-of-the-pack. It clearly outperforms Julia A. Stark School and Toquam Magnet School, and it gets better results than Roxbury School while spending about $2,400 less per student. But Strawberry Hill, Davenport Ridge School, and Newfield School all rank higher. The starkest comparison is to Ox Ridge Elementary School in Darien — just a few miles away, yet ranking in the 94th percentile with 74.4% of 3rd graders proficient in ELA versus Springdale's 25.9%. That gap is a story of economic inequality, not school quality. Parents evaluating Springdale should measure it against other Stamford schools with similar demographics.
