ZIP code 06375 contains exactly one school: Quaker Hill Elementary School, a PK–5 elementary school serving 331 students in the Waterford School District. With no middle or high schools in the area, this small school is the sole educational option for families in the Quaker Hill neighborhood.
Quaker Hill Elementary School is a stable, above-average performer that has ranked in the 62nd–63rd percentile among Connecticut elementary schools for three straight years, earning a 3-star rating each time. The school outpaced the Connecticut state average on all nine reported SBAC and NGSS tests, with particularly strong math results: 4th-grade math proficiency hit 71.4% versus 52.1% statewide, a 19-point gap. The school also excels at attendance, with a chronic absenteeism rate of just 5.7%—far below the district's 10.8% and the state's 16.4%. A favorable student-teacher ratio of 10.9 supports personalized instruction, and despite 38.37% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, academic outcomes remain resilient.
While the school consistently beats state averages, its performance relative to its own district varies by grade and subject. It outperformed the Waterford School District on six of nine reported tests, with the biggest wins in 3rd-grade ELA (+4.8 points) and 4th-grade math (+3.6 points). However, in 2024–2025, the school trailed its district in 5th-grade ELA, math, and science—most notably by 4.9 points in 5th-grade science—suggesting upper-elementary performance is a relative weak spot. Overall, Quaker Hill Elementary School is a dependable, solidly performing school with excellent attendance and strong early-grade academics, though parents of older elementary students may want to watch 5th-grade science and math trends.
