Located in southwestern Connecticut, about forty miles from New York City, Stamford is a relatively diverse community located in an affluent state and region. In contrast with many northeastern cities, Stamford has shown remarkable success maintaining racially and socioeconomically desegregated schools thanks to strong district policies and state laws that date back to the 1960s and 1970s. Over the past decade, the district has also committed to integrating classrooms through de-tracking and successfully reduced achievement gaps while increasing overall test scores. This report describes the impact Stamford's current robust policy to desegregate schools and efforts to integrate classrooms by reducing academic tracking have had on integration and student outcomes. Lessons for other districts are also discussed. [For the full report, "Stories of School Integration," see ED623187.]
