Summary:

The 06519 zip code in New Haven, Connecticut is home to two high schools: Hill Regional Career High School and Sound School. Both schools serve grades 9-12 and are part of the New Haven School District.

Based on the data, Sound School appears to outperform Hill Regional Career High School on several key metrics. Sound School has a higher statewide ranking and rating, as well as better test scores across multiple subjects and years. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, 44.6% of Sound School's 11th-grade students were proficient or better in SAT/English Language Arts, compared to only 31.6% at Hill Regional Career High School.

Despite Hill Regional Career High School spending more per student, at $17,197 in the 2018-2019 school year compared to $15,403 at Sound School, it underperforms on various metrics, including test scores and statewide rankings. This suggests that factors beyond just funding may be contributing to the schools' performance. Additionally, both schools have high chronic absenteeism rates, with 17.7% of students chronically absent in the 2023-2024 school year, which is an area of concern that may require further investigation and intervention.
