Summary:
The 06512 zip code area in Connecticut is home to 8 schools, including 7 elementary schools and 1 middle school, spread across the New Haven School District and the East Haven School District. The schools in this area show a wide range of performance, with some standout schools like Carbone School/East Haven Academy and Dominick H. Ferrara School performing significantly above district and state averages on standardized tests, while others like Nathan Hale School struggle to meet proficiency standards.
The data reveals significant performance gaps between the schools and the district/state averages, with some schools like Nathan Hale School having only 22.6% of 3rd graders proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to 49.8% statewide. This variation in school quality suggests that families in the 06512 area may have access to a mix of high-quality and low-quality educational options. Additionally, the data indicates a potential correlation between higher free/reduced lunch rates (a proxy for economic disadvantage) and lower academic performance, with schools like Nathan Hale School and Momauguin School having higher poverty rates and lower proficiency rates.
The transition to middle school also appears to be an area of concern, as the data shows that the lone middle school, Joseph Melillo Middle School, has relatively lower proficiency rates compared to the higher-performing elementary schools. This suggests that more attention may be needed to ensure students are well-prepared for the academic rigor of middle school.
