There were 16,339 students enrolled in Stamford School District in the 2023-24 school year, 1.1% more than the previous year, according to the Connecticut State Department of Education.
Data also showed that most of the students were Hispanic, representing 51.6% of the district’s total enrollment.
Stamford School District roughly covers 21 schools within Fairfield County and has a main office in Stamford.
Among those schools, Westhill High School recorded the highest enrollment of 2,259 students in the 2023-24 school year.
Connecticut’s public schools generally have better student-teacher ratios than the U.S. average. According to data compiled by Public School Review, Connecticut’s average student-teacher ratio is about 12:1, meaning there are roughly 12 students for every teacher in the state’s public schools—lower than the national average of approximately 15:1. This suggests that, on average, Connecticut classrooms may offer smaller group sizes and potentially more individualized attention compared with public schools nationwide.
