Summary:

Zip code 06281 is served by one high school, The Woodstock Academy, which enrolls students in grades 9–12 in Woodstock, Connecticut. Because this is the only high school in the area, there is no school-to-school comparison available within the zip code; instead, the focus is on how this school performs relative to state averages and over time. The Woodstock Academy operates as part of The Woodstock Academy District, a single-school district, so district and school results are identical.

The school is a strong performer across most key metrics. In 2024–2025, 11th graders scored well above the Connecticut state average in English Language Arts (67.4% proficient vs. 58.0%), science (54.2% vs. 47.7%), and math (34.1% vs. 31.1%). The graduation rate is excellent at 97.7%, compared to the state average of 91.2%. Its state ranking has been stable over the past three years, ranging from 51st to 61st among roughly 141–145 high schools, with a recent rebound to the 63rd percentile in 2024–2025. The school consistently earns a three-star rating from SchoolDigger.

One area to watch is chronic absenteeism, which sits at 16.6%—slightly above the state average of 16.4%. This is notable because the school has a very low free/reduced-price lunch eligibility rate of 4.45%, suggesting a relatively affluent student population. Despite that advantage, the slightly elevated absenteeism may point to non-economic factors such as transportation, health, or student engagement. Overall, The Woodstock Academy is a solid, mid-to-upper-tier high school with outstanding graduation rates and academic results above state averages in every tested subject, with the biggest strength in English Language Arts.
