Despite serving a diverse student population, Rogers Park Middle School consistently ranks in the bottom half of Connecticut middle schools, with only 22% of 6th graders, 28.7% of 7th graders, and 18.9% of 8th graders proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to the state averages of 48.1%, 49.5%, and 49.1%, respectively.

The school's academic struggles are especially pronounced for certain student subgroups, such as White, Male, and Low Socioeconomic Status students.
In contrast, nearby middle schools in the Newtown School District, Ridgefield School District, and Redding School District, such as Newtown Middle School, East Ridge Middle School, and John Read Middle School, consistently outperform Rogers Park Middle School and the Danbury district as a whole, ranking in the top 50 middle schools in the state. This suggests that the school's location within the lower-performing Danbury School District may be a contributing factor to its struggles, despite having a student-teacher ratio and per-student spending that are on par with nearby schools.
