Middle Schools in Danbury School District

The Danbury School District in Connecticut is home to three middle schools serving grades 6-8: Broadview Middle School, Rogers Park Middle School, and Westside Middle School Academy. These schools serve a predominantly Hispanic student population, with high rates of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a need for equitable educational opportunities.

Among the three middle schools, Westside Middle School Academy stands out as the highest-performing, with significantly higher test scores across all grade levels and subjects compared to the district and state averages. The school's 3-star rating from SchoolDigger and statewide ranking of 119th out of 250 Connecticut middle schools further highlight its academic excellence. Additionally, Westside Middle School Academy has a lower percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting a more socioeconomically diverse student population.

In contrast, Broadview Middle School and Rogers Park Middle School have significantly lower test scores, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science falling well below the district and state averages. These disparities in academic performance across the Danbury School District middle schools suggest the need for a closer examination of the factors contributing to Westside Middle School Academy's success and the implementation of strategies to improve the performance of the other two schools.
