Summary:
The 06112 zip code area of Hartford, Connecticut is home to 7 elementary schools, a mix of public and public magnet schools serving grades ranging from pre-K to 8th grade. While the schools face challenges related to high poverty levels and chronic absenteeism, the data reveals some standout performers, particularly among the magnet school options.
The STEM Magnet at Annie Fisher School and Montessori Magnet at Fisher School consistently outperform the other schools in the area, with higher statewide rankings and significantly stronger test scores in English Language Arts and Mathematics. In contrast, schools like Global Communications Academy struggle, with only 14% of 4th graders proficient or better in English Language Arts, well below the state average of 51.4%.
Across the board, the schools in the 06112 zip code serve predominantly low-income communities, with free and reduced-price lunch rates ranging from 60.59% to 91.99%. This high level of economic disadvantage likely contributes to the challenges these schools face, including the uniformly high chronic absenteeism rate of 17.7%. While spending per student is generally higher than the state average, the data suggests that more targeted interventions and support may be needed to address the performance gaps and improve educational outcomes for students in this area served by the Hartford School District.
