Summary:
In zip code 06810 (Danbury, CT), there are two public middle schools—Broadview Middle School and Rogers Park Middle School—both serving grades 6 through 8 as part of the Danbury School District, which ranks in the bottom 12% of Connecticut districts.
Neither school is a high performer, but they stand out in different ways. Broadview is currently the stronger school overall: it ranks 209th out of 258 in Connecticut, just ahead of Rogers Park at 210th, and it has much better attendance (11.2% chronic absenteeism vs. Rogers Park’s 13.7%). Broadview is also improving—its state rank rose from 212th last year, and its ELA scores jumped 6.1 points. Rogers Park, however, has a better student-teacher ratio (10.8 vs. 13.2) and stronger 8th-grade science scores (28.0% vs. 24.6%). It also held a clear ranking advantage in both prior years, but slipped from 198th in 2024-2025 to 210th in 2025-2026. Broadview’s 7th-grade ELA proficiency of 35.6% is the highest single-subject score among either school this year.
The most urgent issue is math: only about 14-15% of students at both schools are proficient, meaning roughly 85% of middle schoolers here are not meeting grade-level math expectations. Both schools serve majority low-income populations (about 58% free/reduced-price lunch), yet chronic absenteeism is actually below the state average—a bright spot. Interestingly, Rogers Park’s better staffing and slightly higher spending have not translated into consistently better results, and its test scores decline as students advance through middle school. With both schools rated 1 star and ranking in the bottom 20% of Connecticut, there is no high-performing middle school option in this zip code; families seeking stronger academic outcomes would need to look elsewhere.
