Summary:
The 06330 zip code in Connecticut is home to a single elementary school, Sayles School, which serves grades PK-8 and has a total enrollment of 284 students. Sayles School is part of the Sprague School District, which is ranked 148 out of 156 districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Sayles School's performance has been declining in recent years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 365 out of 490 Connecticut elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 395 out of 493 in 2024-2025. The school maintains a consistent 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating significant room for improvement. Academically, Sayles School's students perform well below the state averages on SBAC/NGSS tests, with only 25% of 3rd graders proficient or better in ELA and Math, compared to the state averages of 46.9% and 52.2%, respectively. The school also faces challenges with a high chronic absenteeism rate of 17.7% for the 2023-2024 school year.
Despite the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio of 12.3 to 1 and above-average per-student spending of $13,781 for the 2018-2019 school year, Sayles School's academic performance remains a significant concern. The high percentage of students (56.34%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch suggests that the school may be facing challenges in addressing the needs of its economically disadvantaged student population. Overall, the data indicates that Sayles School is struggling to provide a high-quality education for its students, and families in the 06330 zip code may have limited educational options in the area.
