Summary:
The 06903 zip code area of Stamford, Connecticut is home to two schools - Scofield Middle School and Northeast School. While both serve the local community, the data reveals a significant performance gap between the two, with Scofield Middle School emerging as the stronger-performing school.
Scofield Middle School stands out with a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger and consistently higher test scores in English Language Arts and Mathematics compared to the Stamford School District and the state average. In contrast, Northeast School, an elementary school, lags behind in academic performance, ranking in the bottom third of Connecticut elementary schools and scoring below district and state averages in most subjects.
The differences between the two schools extend beyond just test scores. Scofield Middle School serves a more diverse student population, with a higher percentage of Hispanic, Asian, and African American students, while Northeast School has a larger proportion of White students. Additionally, Northeast School spends more per student, yet this higher investment does not seem to translate into better academic outcomes, raising questions about the effective allocation of resources within the Stamford School District.
