Summary:
Zip code 06031 covers Falls Village, Connecticut, and is home to two public schools serving grades K-8 and 9-12: Lee H. Kellogg School, a tiny K-8 elementary school in the Canaan School District with just 70 students, and Housatonic Valley Regional High School, a 352-student high school in Regional School District 01. Together, these schools educate about 422 students in a rural setting with small class sizes and notably low student-teacher ratios.
Housatonic Valley Regional High School stands out as the area's top academic performer. Its district ranks 79th out of 153 in Connecticut, and the school's own ranking has improved sharply, from 71st in 2021-2022 to 46th in 2025-2026. Students score well above state averages on the SAT, with 61.3% proficient in ELA and 40.3% proficient in math, compared to state averages of 55.3% and 31.3%. The school also posts a 94.9% graduation rate and a 12.5% chronic absenteeism rate, both better than statewide figures. Lee H. Kellogg School offers an even more intimate learning environment with a remarkable 6.4:1 student-teacher ratio, although its most recent ranking data dates back to 2007-2008, when it placed in the 87th percentile nationwide.
Per-student spending is exceptionally high in this area, particularly at Lee H. Kellogg School, where it reaches $36,659—a reflection of fixed operating costs spread across only 70 students. Housatonic Valley spends a still-generous $28,148 per student. Interestingly, Lee H. Kellogg has a higher share of students eligible for free/reduced lunch (37.14%) than the high school (29.83%), and both schools keep chronic absenteeism below the state average of 16.4%. With Lee H. Kellogg covering grades K-8 and the high school covering grades 9-12, there is no standalone middle school—a common configuration for small rural districts that allows students to remain in a familiar environment before transitioning to the regional high school.
