Summary:

There is one high school in zip code 06410, Cheshire High School, serving grades 9-12 within the Cheshire School District in Connecticut. This area is home to a single high school, so the following insights focus entirely on Cheshire High School's performance relative to district and state averages.

Cheshire High School is a standout for its strong academic outcomes. The Cheshire School District ranks 16th out of 153 districts in Connecticut, placing it in the 90th percentile. The school's graduation rate is 97.1%, well above the state average of 91.2%. Its 11th-grade science proficiency on the NGSS exam reached 70.3% in 2025-2026, nearly 20 points higher than the state's 50.5%. The school also has a favorable student-teacher ratio of 11.5:1 and per-student spending of $16,695. About 16.7% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch, indicating a relatively low level of economic disadvantage compared to many schools.

One area of concern is chronic absenteeism. While Cheshire High School's rate of 14.7% is slightly below the state average of 16.4%, it is 75% higher than the district's 8.4% average, suggesting absenteeism is more common at the high school level. Science performance improved by 5.4 percentage points year-over-year, highlighting a continued strength. Historically, the school has earned consistent 4-star ratings, and current district ratings are a 5-star, 90th-percentile ranking. For parents, Cheshire High School offers a strong academic environment with excellent graduation and test outcomes, though addressing chronic absenteeism among the 14.7% of students missing significant school time remains an opportunity for improvement.
