Roxbury School

Summary:

Roxbury School is an elementary school in Stamford, Connecticut, serving students from kindergarten to 5th grade. With a declining racial diversity and academic performance below the district and state averages, Roxbury School faces some unique challenges compared to its peers.

Roxbury School's academic performance, as measured by SBAC/NGSS assessments, is generally lower than the Stamford School District and Connecticut state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2023-2024, only 39.3% of 5th-grade students at Roxbury were proficient or better in SBAC/English Language Arts, compared to 51.4% statewide. The school's statewide ranking among Connecticut elementary schools has also been consistently low, ranging from 335 out of 490 schools in 2021-2022 to 352 out of 497 schools in 2023-2024. Interestingly, Roxbury's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with Hispanic students ranking 71 out of 111 Connecticut elementary schools, while white students ranked 199 out of 262 schools.

Compared to other elementary schools in the Stamford area, such as Davenport Ridge School and Strawberry Hill an ext. of Rogers International, Roxbury School generally performs below its peers. Additionally, Roxbury has a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 51.78% in 2021-2022 to 60.18% in 2020-2021, suggesting that socioeconomic factors may play a significant role in the school's outcomes. The gradual decline in the percentage of white students and the increase in Hispanic students at Roxbury School over the past few years may also be indicative of broader demographic shifts within the Stamford community.

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.
