Summary:

The 06492 zip code area is home to two middle schools - Dag Hammarskjold Middle School and James H. Moran Middle School. Both schools are performing reasonably well, ranking in the top half of Connecticut middle schools and earning 3-star ratings from SchoolDigger.

Dag Hammarskjold Middle School stands out for outperforming the Wallingford School District and state averages in English Language Arts proficiency for grades 6-8. James H. Moran Middle School also excelled in 8th grade English Language Arts, surpassing district and state benchmarks. However, both schools performed slightly below average in Mathematics proficiency for grades 6-8.

A notable area of concern for both schools is their high chronic absenteeism rates of 17.7% in the 2023-2024 school year. This is an issue that warrants further investigation and targeted interventions to improve student attendance. Additionally, the schools' per-student spending and student-teacher ratios differ, but the impact of these factors on academic outcomes is unclear and would require additional analysis.
