Summary:

The 06331 zip code area is home to two schools - Canterbury Elementary School and Dr. Helen Baldwin Middle School - both part of the Canterbury School District. While the district is ranked in the bottom half of Connecticut, the individual schools are performing better than the district ranking would suggest.

Canterbury Elementary School has shown improvement in its statewide ranking, moving from 335th out of 538 Connecticut elementary schools in 2020-2021 to 240th out of 493 in 2024-2025. The school outperforms the state average in 3rd grade math proficiency but falls behind in 4th grade ELA. In contrast, Dr. Helen Baldwin Middle School consistently ranks in the top third of Connecticut middle schools, placing 87th out of 252 in 2024-2025, and exceeds state averages in math proficiency across 6th-8th grades.

Both schools have higher than average spending per student and lower than average student-teacher ratios, which could contribute to their relatively strong academic performance. However, the schools also face challenges, such as higher than state target chronic absenteeism rates. Addressing these issues could lead to further improvements in the schools' overall performance and outcomes for students.
