Summary:
The 06905 zip code of Stamford, Connecticut is home to 6 diverse schools, including 2 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 2 high schools. While the schools serve a predominantly Hispanic student population with high rates of free/reduced lunch, their academic performance varies significantly, with one standout public magnet high school outperforming the others and the district as a whole.
The Academy of Information Technology & Engineering (AITE) is a public magnet high school that ranks 65th out of 145 Connecticut high schools and is rated 3 out of 5 stars. AITE students outperform the Stamford School District and the state on standardized assessments, showcasing the potential benefits of specialized programs. In contrast, the other schools in the 06905 zip code generally underperform the district and state averages, with Newfield School being the highest-performing elementary school.
The data reveals significant performance gaps between the schools, as well as high percentages of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting that the schools may be serving economically disadvantaged populations. While the schools with the highest per-student spending are the two high schools, this funding does not necessarily translate to the best academic outcomes, indicating that additional factors beyond funding may be at play. The consistently low district ranking and rating for the Stamford School District suggest that there may be systemic issues impacting the performance of all the schools in the 06905 zip code.
