Summary:
The 06483 zip code area is home to two elementary schools, Chatfield-LoPresti School and Bungay School, both part of the Seymour School District. While the district is ranked 96 out of 156 in Connecticut with a 2-star rating, the two elementary schools stand out with consistent top 50% rankings and 3-star ratings from SchoolDigger.
Chatfield-LoPresti School excels in mathematics, with higher proficiency rates than the district and state averages. However, it has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at 51.87%. In contrast, Bungay School outperforms the district and state in English Language Arts, particularly in the upper grades, and has a lower percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at 41.25%.
Both schools share a concerning chronic absenteeism rate of 17.7%, which is higher than the state average. The spending per student and student-teacher ratios are relatively similar between the two schools, suggesting that resource allocation may not be a significant factor in their performance differences. Overall, the data indicates that the elementary schools in the 06483 zip code area are performing reasonably well, with some areas of strength and potential for improvement in addressing chronic absenteeism and supporting economically disadvantaged students.
