Summary:
The 06078 zip code area in Connecticut is home to 3 schools serving grades K-8, including 2 elementary schools and 1 middle school. Overall, the schools in this area perform well, with Suffield Middle School standing out as a top-performing school in the state, ranking 39th out of 252 Connecticut middle schools.
McAlister Intermediate School, one of the elementary schools, also performs strongly, ranking in the top third of Connecticut elementary schools. Both Suffield Middle School and McAlister Intermediate School have impressive test scores, with over 60% and 58-74% of students, respectively, proficient or better in English Language Arts and Mathematics. However, all 3 schools in the area have relatively high chronic absenteeism rates, which may be an area of concern for the Suffield School District.
While the schools in the 06078 zip code area generally perform well, there are some potential equity issues to consider. The free/reduced lunch rates vary across the schools, with A. Ward Spaulding School having the highest rate at 16.27%. The district may want to further investigate these differences and explore ways to support more equitable outcomes across all schools in the area.
