Rogers International School

Summary:

Rogers International School is a diverse public magnet elementary school serving 765 students in grades K-8 in Stamford, Connecticut. The school generally outperforms the Stamford School District and the state of Connecticut in academic performance, but faces challenges in supporting certain student subgroups and lags behind the high-performing Darien schools.

Rogers International School's academic performance is strong, with 55.7% of 5th graders proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 39% for the Stamford School District and 51.4% for the state. In 8th grade math, the school's proficiency rate of 38.7% was significantly higher than the Stamford School District's 25.6% and the state's 38.2%. The school also performs well on science assessments, with 58.7% of 8th graders proficient or better, compared to 38.6% for the Stamford School District and 48.1% for the state. However, the nearby Stamford Charter School for Excellence outperforms Rogers International School across all grade levels and subject areas.

While Rogers International School excels with its Hispanic and White student subgroups, ranking 49th and 147th, respectively, out of Connecticut elementary schools, it struggles with its female students and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, ranking in the bottom half of the state. This may be due to the school's relatively high percentage of students from low-income families, around 47%, and its lower per-student spending of $16,800 compared to the high-performing Holmes Elementary and Hindley Elementary schools in Darien, which spend over $18,000 per student.

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.
