Rochambeau Middle School

Summary:

Rochambeau Middle School is a high-performing public middle school located in Southbury, Connecticut, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 384 students. The school is part of the Regional School District 15, which is ranked 56 out of 158 school districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Rochambeau Middle School consistently ranks among the top middle schools in Connecticut, with students performing significantly better than the state average on standardized assessments across all grades and subjects. For example, in 2023-2024, 70.6% of 8th-grade students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to the state average of 49.1%. The school's female students and special education/disabled student populations also perform exceptionally well, ranking among the top middle schools in the state. However, the school's predominantly white student population, at 79.17%, is higher than the state average and nearby schools, which may limit the diversity of the educational experience.

Rochambeau Middle School's academic success is likely attributed to its high per-student spending of $19,123 in 2018-2019 and low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 11.7 to 13.3 over the past three school years. This suggests the school has access to significant resources and invests heavily in staffing to support student learning. While the school's overall performance is impressive, it may need to address the performance disparities among student subgroups and consider ways to increase racial diversity to provide a more well-rounded educational experience for all students.

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.
