Summary:
The 06450 zip code area of Meriden, Connecticut is home to 14 schools, including 8 elementary schools, 3 middle schools, and 3 high schools. While the schools in this area face challenges, with the Meriden School District rated 1 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger, a few standout schools demonstrate the potential for improvement.
The top-performing elementary schools in the area are Thomas Hooker School and Benjamin Franklin School, which consistently outperform the district and state averages on standardized tests. These schools have relatively lower free/reduced lunch rates, suggesting a connection between socioeconomic status and academic achievement. In contrast, the middle schools in the district, such as Edison Middle School, which has the highest rating in the district, struggle to match the performance of the top elementary schools.
The data indicates that factors such as per-student spending and student-teacher ratios may play a role in academic outcomes, with the higher-performing schools tending to have more resources and smaller class sizes. However, the overall low performance of the schools in the 06450 zip code, as reflected in the Meriden School District's 1-star rating, suggests that there is significant room for improvement in the quality of education provided to students in this area.
