Summary:
Cooperative Educational Services contains just one elementary school, Six-Six Magnet School, a PK-8 school in Bridgeport, CT serving 441 students within a district ranked 120th out of 153 Connecticut districts.
As the only school in the district, Six-Six Magnet School stands out as a relative bright spot. In nearly every reported SBAC subject and grade for 2025-2026, the school outperformed its district average. For example, 4th grade ELA proficiency was 44.7% compared to the district's 36.2%, and 4th grade math was 40.4% versus the district's 32.8%. The most remarkable result is 6th grade math, where 52.5% of students were proficient, outpacing the state average of 44.4% by 8.1 points, the only instance where the school clearly beats the state. However, the school generally lags Connecticut state averages in other subjects, especially ELA and upper-middle-grade math, where 7th and 8th grade proficiency falls to 31.0% and 33.3% respectively.
The school has earned 2 stars with a 35th percentile statewide ranking in 2025-2026, up from the 31st percentile the prior year but down from 39th in 2023-2024, indicating results that fluctuate with cohort changes. Chronic absenteeism is 17.2%, notably better than the district's 24.3% and close to the state's 16.4%. With a low student-teacher ratio of 10.2:1 and per-student spending of $16,693, the school has solid resources. It also serves a significant economically disadvantaged population, with 44.67% of students receiving free/reduced lunch. Grade-level performance varies widely, from 29.8% proficiency in 3rd grade ELA to 52.5% in 6th grade math, suggesting pockets of strength alongside areas needing improvement. Sustaining the bright spots, particularly 6th grade math and attendance, will be key to raising the school's statewide standing.
