Summary:
The 06615 zip code in Connecticut is home to a single middle school, David Wooster Middle School, which serves grades 7-8 with an enrollment of 547 students. The school is part of the Stratford School District, which is ranked 137 out of 156 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.
David Wooster Middle School has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger, ranking 176 out of 252 Connecticut middle schools in the 2024-2025 school year. The school has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past few years, dropping from 176 in 2022-2023 to 187 in 2023-2024. Academic performance at the school is below state averages across all subject areas and grade levels, with only 26.6% of 7th graders and 38% of 8th graders proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to state averages of 50.4% and 50.7%, respectively.
The school faces several challenges, including a high chronic absenteeism rate of 17.7% and a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch at 53.02% in 2023-2024. Despite these challenges, the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 12.4, which could indicate a focus on small class sizes and individualized attention. However, the school's per-student spending of $16,830 in the 2018-2019 school year does not appear to be translating into improved student outcomes.
