Summary:
The 06062 zip code area of Plainville, Connecticut is home to 5 schools serving students from elementary through high school, all part of the Plainville School District. The data reveals a mix of high-performing and more challenged schools, with standouts like Louis Toffolon School and Frank T. Wheeler School leading the way in academic achievement.
The top-performing elementary schools, Louis Toffolon and Frank T. Wheeler, consistently exceed district and state averages on standardized tests, particularly in English Language Arts. For example, in 2024-2025, 80.4% of 4th graders and 67.2% of 5th graders at Louis Toffolon were proficient or better in ELA, compared to district averages of 61.2% and 63% respectively. However, there are notable gaps between the performance of these high-achieving schools and the district/state averages, suggesting room for improvement in ensuring all students meet proficiency standards.
At the secondary level, Plainville High School had an 88.4% four-year graduation rate in 2022-2023, above the state average, while the Middle School of Plainville has maintained a relatively consistent statewide ranking. However, the district as a whole is ranked 88 out of 156 districts in Connecticut and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating broader challenges that impact all schools. One area of concern across the district is the high chronic absenteeism rate of 17.7% in 2023-2024, well above the state's target of 10%.
