Warm community with caring teachers and administrators. Many opportunities for learning, from STEM to music and the arts. We're so happy we ended up at this wonderful school!

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.

I have two children who went through Stillmeadow and they both turned out to be high honors students. The school is spot on with academics and they are focused on the success of the students by giving Principal and Citizenship awards. The parents are very involved and teachers and the Administration work really hard to make this a high performing school. The students love activities like literacy day, math night and field trips.

This school is focused on student success. The principal is a visionary that wants the school to bring the students and staff into the 21st Century. Scholarship and Citizenship are the school's major focuses.

I found this school to be quite good through 3-4 grade for my daughter. The teachers were extremely kind, the children were nice and my daughter really learned something. But all that changed in 5th grade. In October, My daughter was SLAPPED by a student on the playground. She had to change classes. And all through this current year she is in 5th grade, she has been repeatedly harassed by several students. And though the leading teachers are fine, there is one assistant in particular who had been harassing her. And recently, a substitute had her down on her hands and knees picking up dirt that was not even hers. Tissues, Wrappers, pen caps... And then he had the nerve to tell me he believed she had OCD. She has come home crying too many times to count and we are both ready to leave this whole year behind us.
