Summary

Frisbie School is a K-5 elementary school in Wolcott, CT, serving 265 students within the Wolcott School District, a mid-tier Connecticut district. Frisbie has historically been one of the region's stronger elementary schools, and its test scores are well above state averages across nearly every grade and subject.

In the 2025-2026 school year, Frisbie ranked 140th out of 491 Connecticut elementary schools, placing it in the 71st percentile with a 4-star rating. Fifth grade is a particular bright spot: 76.1% of students are proficient in ELA and 73.9% in science, compared to state averages of 53.5% and 52.9%. Frisbie generally outperforms Wakelee School, the district's other elementary school, especially in upper-grade subjects. The contrast with nearby Waterbury schools is dramatic — 5th grade ELA proficiency is 48.5% at Regan School, 47.1% at Rotella Interdistrict Magnet School, and just 21.1% at Walsh School.

One of Frisbie's biggest strengths is attendance. Its chronic absenteeism rate is just 5.3% — less than one-third of the state average of 16.4% — and it has improved steadily from 11.2% in 2021-2022. The school also maintains a low student-teacher ratio of 11.0 and spends roughly $14,200 per student, less than many lower-performing schools in the Waterbury School District. While Frisbie's overall ranking has dipped from its 89th-percentile peak in 2023-2024, it remains a strong, well-managed school with excellent attendance, small classes, and consistently high academic results.
