Best Public Schools in Zip Code 06110

Zip code 06110 contains 2 elementary schools—Charter Oak International Academy (PK–5) and Wolcott School (K–5)—serving about 840 students in the West Hartford School District, with no middle or high schools in the immediate area.

Wolcott School is the standout performer in this zip code. It ranks 208th out of 491 Connecticut elementary schools (58th percentile) for 2025–2026, while Charter Oak International Academy ranks 269th (45th percentile). Wolcott posts an overall proficiency rate of about 59.4% across 2025–2026 SBAC/NGSS tests, roughly 11 points higher than Charter Oak’s 48.0%. Wolcott also has a lower chronic absenteeism rate (9.0% vs. 12.8%) and a much smaller share of economically disadvantaged students (35.59% free/reduced lunch vs. 56.58% at Charter Oak). Wolcott spends more per student ($19,550 vs. $15,562) and remains closer to district averages in most subjects, especially in 4th grade where it scores 65.5% in ELA and 69.0% in math.

Charter Oak International Academy shows strengths in early grades—it actually beats Wolcott in 3rd-grade ELA (55.7% vs. 51.9%) and essentially ties in 3rd-grade math—but its scores drop sharply in 4th and 5th grades. Despite these challenges, Charter Oak is improving: its statewide rank rose from 302nd in 2024–2025 to 269th in 2025–2026, and it now exceeds state averages in 3rd-grade ELA and math, as well as 5th-grade math. Both schools share the same 11.4 student–teacher ratio, but the economic gap between them likely drives much of the performance difference. For parents, Wolcott School offers the strongest overall academics and attendance, while Charter Oak International Academy is a solid option for early elementary years and shows a promising upward trend.
