This school is a good example of what is wrong with education in America. No discipline, no learning. They just sit around in circles and talk about their feelings. Math and language curriculum is a joke. It is designed to confuse students and damage them for life.

Stillmeadow School is an epitome of what is wrong in the Stamford Public School system. Parents who are engaged in their kids' education and have the means to move to nearby Greenwich, Darien, Westport, or Westchester county have all left due to the sorry state of Stillmeadow and SPS in general. The leadership is ineffective, the curriculum is poorly designed, and it shows in the results. Stillmeadow is supposed to be one of the better elementary schools, yet it is still scoring incredibly low. Sure, many factors go into educational outcomes. The school is clearly not succeeding in the classroom, and also failing to reach out to parents to ensure they are engaged. Case in point, every other nearby system starts a 2nd language, Spanish, in elementary school. Not specific to this school--Stamford public schools in general is bad. Everyday Math is a joke curriculum, too many wordy math problems (1st and 2nd graders cannot read a paragraph about adding and subtracting) and too much pie-in-the-sky concepts instead of just plain old, very effective and fast, multiplication table memorization, long division practice, etc. SPS also does not offer Spanish, a subject that many of its Hispanic students could actually achieve in--there are positive externalities for learning to spell, read, and write in Spanish that could spillover to better linguistic skills in English as well.

8 out of 10. Smaller class sizes in some grades than others. Teachers are amazing. Petter leadership at the district level would be great.
