Summary:
ZIP code 06382 in Uncasville, Connecticut is served by a single elementary school: Mohegan School, which enrolls 305 students in grades PK–5 as part of the Montville School District. Mohegan is the only elementary option in this area, making it the centerpiece of any school search for local families. The school serves a predominantly low-income student body, with 52.79% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, and it maintains a favorable student-teacher ratio of 11.3:1. Chronic absenteeism stands at 12.5%, which is better than both the district rate of 17.2% and the state average of 16.4%.
Academically, Mohegan shows some promising bright spots. In 2025–2026, 5th grade English Language Arts proficiency reached 52.3%, up sharply from 39.6% the previous year, and now sits just 1.2 points below the state average. Fourth grade mathematics is another relative strength at 50.9% proficiency, nearly matching the state's 52.1%. However, performance varies considerably by grade and subject. Third grade ELA (38.3%) and math (38.3%), along with 5th grade math (38.6%), remain weak areas. The school also saw a dramatic 13.2-point drop in 4th grade ELA, from 55.3% to 42.1%, even as 5th grade ELA rose by 12.7 points, showing significant year-to-year volatility.
Despite these bright spots, Mohegan School trails both the Montville School District and the state in all six tested grade-subject combinations for 2025–2026. Its statewide ranking has also slipped over the past two years, falling from the 53rd percentile (3 stars) in 2023–2024 to the 37th percentile (2 stars) in 2025–2026. With a district rank of 104th out of 153 Connecticut districts, this downward trend suggests the school will need consistent gains across all grades and subjects to reverse course. Positive structural factors, including the low student-teacher ratio and per-student spending of $16,205, provide a foundation for improvement, but academic consistency will be key for Mohegan's future outlook.
