Summary:
Zip code 06095 in Windsor, Connecticut is home to one middle school, Sage Park Middle School, which serves grades 6 through 8 and enrolls 719 students. As the only middle school in the area, Sage Park stands out for its steady improvement in statewide rankings, climbing from the 48th percentile in 2023-2024 to the 53rd percentile in 2025-2026, and it currently holds a 3-star rating. The school also boasts a favorable student-teacher ratio of 10.1 and a chronic absenteeism rate of just 9.8% — significantly lower than the district's 14.3% and the state's 16.4%, making attendance a notable strength.
Academically, Sage Park performs close to or above state averages in several areas, though results vary by grade and subject. In 7th grade, 57.8% of students are proficient in ELA and 48.5% in math, both above state averages. 8th grade math also exceeds the state at 44.7% proficiency. However, 6th grade math remains a weakness at 37.3%, well below the state's 42.9%, and 8th grade science lags at 44.7% versus 50.3% statewide. The school serves a substantial economically disadvantaged population, with 50.07% of students eligible for free or reduced lunch, and per-pupil spending is high at $21,666, yet test scores suggest room for improvement in closing achievement gaps.
Despite belonging to the Windsor School District, which ranks in the bottom 20% of Connecticut districts, Sage Park Middle School outperforms its district's reputation. Low chronic absenteeism, a low student-teacher ratio, and improving statewide rankings indicate a positive trajectory. Year-over-year trends show strong gains in 7th grade ELA (up 9.3 points) and 8th grade math (up 5.7 points), but 6th grade ELA declined below the state average. For parents, Sage Park offers a stable, well-funded school with strong attendance and emerging academic strengths, particularly in 7th grade, while math and science in the lower grades remain key areas to watch.
