Schools in Zip Code 06109

ZIP code 06109 covers Wethersfield, Connecticut, and contains 8 schools—6 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school—serving roughly 3,900 students. Seven of these schools belong to the Wethersfield School District, while Discovery Academy is the sole school from the Capitol Region Education Council (CREC). Overall, this is a solid, above-average cluster of schools, though performance varies notably from one school to the next.

Highcrest School is the standout elementary school, ranking in the 72nd percentile statewide with the ZIP's lowest chronic absenteeism (3.9%) and lowest per-student spending. Alfred W. Hanmer School posts the highest single-grade scores in the area (81.1% proficient in 4th grade ELA) despite having one of the higher poverty rates, and boasts the lowest student-teacher ratio at 10.7:1. Samuel B. Webb Elementary School made the biggest leap in rankings from 2024-25 to 2025-26 and has the best attendance in the ZIP. Wethersfield High School graduates 96.2% of students—well above the state average—but struggles with math. Silas Deane Middle School is the only middle school option and shows strong 7th grade math but weaker 8th grade results, with chronic absenteeism of 11.2%. Discovery Academy remains the lowest-performing school, though it showed the largest year-over-year improvement in the ZIP.

Math is the clearest academic weakness across the area: SAT math proficiency at Wethersfield High School is just 27.6%, below the state average, and 8th grade math at Silas Deane Middle School also trails the state. By contrast, ELA and science scores are generally strong, and chronic absenteeism ZIP-wide is about half the state average—except at Discovery Academy, where 21.9% of students are chronically absent. Notably, higher spending does not track with better results: Highcrest spends the least per student yet performs the best, while the middle school spends the most and shows only middling outcomes.
