Summary:

The 06098 zip code is home to two elementary schools - Mary P. Hinsdale School and Pearson School - both serving students from prekindergarten through 6th grade. These schools face significant socioeconomic challenges, with high rates of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively low-income student population.

Mary P. Hinsdale School serves grades PK-2 with 303 students and has a student-teacher ratio of 12.3, slightly higher than Pearson School. Pearson School, which serves grades 3-6 with 300 students, has a student-teacher ratio of 11.7 and a concerning chronic absenteeism rate of 17.7%.

Academically, Pearson School has generally lower SBAC/ELA and SBAC/Math proficiency rates compared to state averages, though its NGSS/Science proficiency rates are higher. Both schools are part of the Winchester School District, which is ranked 115 out of 156 districts in Connecticut and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. These systemic challenges at the district level may be impacting the performance of individual schools in the 06098 zip code.
