This is a wonderful school! It really starts at the top with the administrators, there is obviously a clear and shared focus. The office staff is extremely helpful and very patient. The teachers are excellent! There is a high level of collaboration and communication. I feel as if I am a part of a team, and that is an awesome feeling! My children are challenged and nurtured. Kudos to Davenport Ridge Elementary.

Fantastic experience with this school. The principal is excellent; the teachers are great. My daughter had really struggled at another Stamford school and Davenport Ridge really worked to turn everything around for her. Students are a nice group of kids, too.
