Summary:
Zip code 06013 in Burlington, Connecticut, is served by a single elementary school, Lake Garda Elementary School, which enrolls 466 students in grades PK through 4 and is part of Regional School District 10, a highly rated district ranked 38th out of 153 in the state.
As the only elementary school in the area, Lake Garda stands out for its exceptionally low chronic absenteeism rate of just 2.4%—less than half the district rate of 6.0% and nearly seven times lower than the state average of 16.4%. The school also serves a relatively affluent population, with only 11.59% of students eligible for free or reduced lunch, and maintains a favorable student-to-teacher ratio of 13.9. Academically, Lake Garda performs well above Connecticut state averages, particularly in mathematics. In the 2025–2026 school year, 70.8% of 3rd graders and 71.4% of 4th graders were proficient in math, compared to state averages of 52.2% and 52.1%, respectively. English language arts scores also exceeded state levels, with 52.8% of 3rd graders and 65.5% of 4th graders proficient.
However, the school trails its own district in most measured categories. For example, 3rd grade ELA proficiency was 10.4 points below the district rate, and math scores were roughly 5 points lower in both grades, suggesting Lake Garda is one of the lower-performing schools within a strong district. The school has earned a consistent 3-star rating and held steady at the 65th percentile statewide across the last three years. Year-to-year test scores show variability, including a notable 16.3-point drop in 3rd grade ELA, though this likely reflects different student cohorts. With per-student spending of $15,494 and strong attendance, Lake Garda is a stable, well-resourced school offering above-average academics relative to the state, though it remains behind its impressive district overall.
