Stillmeadow School

Summary:

Stillmeadow School is an elementary school in Stamford, Connecticut, serving 621 students from kindergarten to 5th grade. The school is part of the Stamford School District, which is ranked 132 out of 158 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Stillmeadow School's academic performance, as measured by standardized test scores, is generally lower than the state and district averages. However, the school's Hispanic students perform relatively better, ranking 22nd out of 108 Connecticut elementary schools. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Connecticut elementary schools and maintains a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating below-average performance. Stillmeadow School also has a high percentage of students from low-income backgrounds, with over 50% receiving free or reduced-price lunch. Despite this, the school's low-income students perform better than the overall student population.

Compared to nearby schools within the Stamford School District, such as Newfield School and Westover School, Stillmeadow School's academic performance is generally lower. However, the school's relatively stronger performance among its Hispanic and low-income students suggests that it may be implementing effective strategies to support these subgroups. To improve overall academic outcomes, Stillmeadow School could benefit from a closer examination of its instructional practices, curriculum, and support systems, as well as addressing the gender gap in student achievement.

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.
