Summary:
Zip code 06382 in Uncasville, Connecticut, is served by exactly one public school: Mohegan School, an elementary school enrolling 305 students in grades PK–5 within the Montville School District. As the only school in this area, Mohegan School’s performance defines the local educational landscape, and the data reveals both notable strengths and persistent challenges.
Students at Mohegan School show clear bright spots, particularly in 4th grade, where 2024–2025 SBAC results exceeded state averages in both ELA (55.3% proficient vs. 51.4% statewide) and math (53.2% vs. 51.4%). The school also posts a low chronic absenteeism rate of 12.5%, better than the district (17.2%) and state (16.4%), and maintains a favorable student-teacher ratio of 11.3 to 1 with per-student spending of $16,205. However, 3rd grade proficiency remains below district and state levels in both subjects across recent years, and 5th grade math is a particular weakness in 2025–2026 (38.6% proficient vs. 50.0% district and 45.8% state). The school’s overall state ranking has declined from the 53rd percentile in 2023–2024 to the 37th percentile in 2025–2026.
Looking at grade-level patterns, ELA proficiency in 2025–2026 improves steadily from 38.3% in 3rd grade to 42.1% in 4th and 52.3% in 5th, while math peaks in 4th grade (50.9%) before dropping sharply in 5th (38.6%). With more than half of students (52.79%) qualifying for free or reduced lunch, Mohegan School serves a significant low-income population yet retains relatively small class sizes and solid attendance. Since no middle or high school exists within the zip code, families in Uncasville feed into other Montville district schools nearby, making Mohegan School the central elementary option for the immediate community. Overall, it is a school with strong attendance and certain grade-level successes, but it faces real, ongoing challenges in early-grade academics and math achievement.
