Stillmeadow School

Stillmeadow Elementary School in Stamford, Connecticut, is a public school for kids in grades K–5. It is known for being friendly and for teaching the whole child. It is also one of Stamford's best elementary schools. The school has about 700 to 750 students and a student-to-teacher ratio of about 11:1. This means that each student receives a lot of attention and help with their schoolwork. Stillmeadow has the same strict curriculum as Stamford Public Schools, but it also has programs for social and emotional growth, STEM activities, reading help, and hands-on learning to help students do better. The school has good reading (46%) and math (44%) skills because it offers targeted instruction and intervention services. Stillmeadow is a wonderful place for families in Connecticut to send their kids to elementary school. People in the community know that the school has strong ties to the community, dedicated staff, and families who are involved.

The school is getting better security: four new security cameras and a system that lets people in without a key are being added.
