Summary:
Zip code 06095 in Windsor, CT is served by 7 schools enrolling about 3,975 students: 4 elementary schools (including two PK–2 schools), one middle school, and two high schools. Six schools belong to Windsor School District, while Academy of Aerospace and Engineering is part of the Capitol Region Education Council. This is a high-need area, with roughly 52% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch and per-student spending averaging about $21,000.
Sage Park Middle School stands out as the strongest school in the zip, ranking in the 53rd percentile statewide with above-average proficiency in 7th grade ELA and math, 8th grade math, and a low 9.8% chronic absenteeism rate. Windsor High School is the top traditional high school, graduating 91.8% of students and exceeding the state average in science proficiency, though its ELA and math scores trail the state. Poquonock Elementary School has the best attendance in the area at just 5.2% chronic absenteeism. By contrast, Academy of Aerospace and Engineering presents a paradox: it has the highest graduation rate (97.8%) but the lowest test proficiency, the highest chronic absenteeism (28.6%), and a rank that fell to the 25th percentile. Among elementary schools, John F. Kennedy School and Clover Street School both show strong 3rd grade math scores that drop sharply by 5th grade.
The biggest concern is high school attendance: both high schools have chronic absenteeism above 21%, while every elementary and middle school is below 10%. District-level rankings also hide individual school strengths — Windsor School District ranks in the 20th percentile, yet Windsor High School and Sage Park Middle School both rank near the middle of the pack statewide. Despite high spending and low student-teacher ratios, most proficiency rates fall below state averages. Families should look closely at Sage Park Middle School, which is outperforming the Academy in every middle-grade subject, as a model of what is working in this zip code.
