Summary

Westover School is an elementary school located in Stamford, Connecticut, serving grades K-5 with a total enrollment of 521 students. The school is part of the Stamford School District, which is ranked 125 out of 156 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Westover School's academic performance, as measured by SBAC/NGSS test scores, is generally below the Stamford School District and Connecticut state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2024-2025, the percentage of 3rd-grade students proficient or better in English Language Arts at Westover School was 37.8%, compared to 28.8% for the Stamford School District and 46.9% for the state. The school's performance also varies significantly across different student subgroups, with Hispanic and African American students performing relatively well compared to their peers, but students with disabilities and male students struggling.

Westover School's academic performance is consistently lower than that of nearby schools in the Greenwich School District, such as Old Greenwich School, Riverside School, and North Mianus School, which consistently rank among the top-performing elementary schools in the state. This contrast in academic performance suggests that factors beyond just funding and student-teacher ratios, such as curriculum, instructional practices, and school leadership, may be playing a significant role in student outcomes at Westover School.
