Welcome to Stratford Public Schools.

Stratford Public Schools makes every attempt to ensure that students in the Stratford Public School system are bona fide residents of Stratford, unless otherwise accommodated by the law (i.e. McKinney-Vento, DCF Placements, etc.). 

An "Anonymous Tip" line is in place for callers to provide information they may have about students who are not considered to be bona fide residents.   Please call 203-385-4242 and give a detailed report which may include student/family name, address, make of car, etc.    An investigation will be conducted by our Residency Officer.   Due to privacy laws that protect student confidentiality, please understand you will not be given a follow up or report of the investigation outcome.
