King Street Intermediate School

Summary:

King Street Intermediate School is a public elementary school serving grades 4-5 in Danbury, Connecticut, with a student population of 389 that is predominantly Hispanic (58.35%).

Despite its location in the Danbury School District, which is ranked 142 out of 158 districts in the state, King Street Intermediate School consistently underperforms compared to the district and the state of Connecticut in standardized test scores across all grade levels and subjects. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 20.7% of 4th-grade students and 34.8% of 5th-grade students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to the district's 29.4% and 34.4%, and the state's 49.4% and 51.4%, respectively. The school has been ranked in the bottom quarter of Connecticut elementary schools for the past several years and maintains a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, the lowest possible rating.

Interestingly, King Street Intermediate School is located in close proximity to several other elementary schools in the Danbury School District, such as Pembroke School and Western CT Academy of International Studies Elementary Magnet, which significantly outperform it on academic measures. Additionally, when compared to the nearby Meeting House Hill School and Consolidated School in the New Fairfield School District, King Street Intermediate School's performance is significantly lower, suggesting that the challenges faced by the school are not solely due to its geographic location or the broader district context.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
