Summary:

The 06512 zip code area of Connecticut is home to 7 elementary schools, a mix of public schools from the New Haven School District and the East Haven School District. These schools serve students from pre-kindergarten through 8th grade and face a range of academic and demographic challenges.

Among the standout schools in the area, Dominick H. Ferrara School and Momauguin School demonstrate relatively strong academic performance, with proficiency rates exceeding district and state averages in key subjects and grade levels. In contrast, Carbone School/East Haven Academy stands out for having the lowest chronic absenteeism rate among the schools in the area.

However, the data also reveals significant disparities in academic achievement across the schools, with proficiency rates ranging widely, from 23.5% in 8th grade Math at Nathan Hale School to 29.3% at Carbone School/East Haven Academy, compared to a state average of 40.8%. This suggests the need for targeted interventions and support to address the challenges faced by these schools, particularly those serving higher-poverty student populations.
