Summary:

The 06365 zip code area is home to two schools - Preston Veterans' Memorial School, an elementary school, and Preston Plains School, a middle school. Both schools are part of the Preston School District, which is ranked 85 out of 156 districts in Connecticut and has a 2-star rating.

Preston Veterans' Memorial School stands out as a high-performing school, consistently scoring above the state average on SBAC English Language Arts and Mathematics assessments, particularly in 3rd grade. The school also has a lower chronic absenteeism rate and higher spending per student compared to the state average. In contrast, Preston Plains School has solid performance on SBAC assessments, with 6th and 8th grade English Language Arts proficiency rates above the state average, but its Mathematics scores are below the state average.

Both schools have relatively low chronic absenteeism rates and higher spending per student than the state average, which may contribute to their academic performance. However, the data suggests there may be opportunities to further improve middle school academic outcomes and address any disparities between the elementary and middle school levels within the Preston School District.
