The schools in the 06255 zip code serve a relatively high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with free and reduced-price lunch rates ranging from 40.47% to 46.3%. This suggests the need for additional resources and support to address the unique challenges faced by these students. Additionally, Tourtellotte Memorial High School has a relatively low SAT Math proficiency rate of 12.2%, compared to the state average of 29.5%, indicating a need for targeted interventions to improve student outcomes at the high school level.
