However, the data also reveals significant challenges facing the majority of schools in the 06515 zip code area. While the Elm City Montessori School District and the Common Ground High School District demonstrate relatively stronger performance, the New Haven School District, which oversees the majority of the schools in this analysis, faces significant challenges in providing quality education to its students, as evidenced by its overall ranking of 147 out of 156 in Connecticut and its 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.
