Summary:

Zip code 06095 in Windsor, Connecticut is home to two public high schools: Windsor High School, a traditional comprehensive school serving grades 9–12 with 1,095 students in the Windsor School District, and Academy of Aerospace and Engineering, a CREC magnet school serving grades 6–12 with 767 students in the Capitol Region Education Council. Both schools serve economically diverse student bodies, with more than half of students qualifying for free/reduced lunch.

Windsor High School is the higher-ranked school, consistently landing in the top half of Connecticut high schools — ranked 68th, 72nd, and 67th over the last three reporting periods. Academy of Aerospace and Engineering is the standout for graduation rate at 97.8%, comfortably above Windsor's 91.8% and the state average of 91.2%. However, the Academy's state ranking has been volatile, falling from 69th to 100th in the most recent data. Academically, the two schools are nearly tied in math proficiency (Windsor 21.3% vs. Academy 21.8%), but Windsor outperforms the Academy in science (53.1% vs. 41.6%) and exceeds the state average in that subject. In English language arts, Windsor's 43.9% proficiency also trails the state's 58.0%. Chronic absenteeism is a major concern at both schools — Windsor's rate of 21.2% and the Academy's 28.6% both exceed the state average of 16.4%.

Windsor High School invests about $3,400 more per student ($22,802 vs. $19,360) and enjoys a slightly better student-teacher ratio (10.1:1 vs. 11.4:1). Academy of Aerospace and Engineering significantly outperforms its district — its math proficiency of 21.8% far exceeds the Capitol Region Education Council's average of 8.1% — while Windsor closely mirrors the Windsor School District's performance. However, the Academy's most recent 2025-2026 test results show a downward trend, with proficiency at 39.1% in ELA, 17.4% in math, and 25.0% in science. Its middle school scores are also mixed, with grades 6 and 7 improving but 8th grade declining in multiple subjects.
