Best Public Schools in Zip Code 06756

Zip code 06756 in Goshen, Connecticut, contains exactly one school—Goshen Center School—a PK-5 elementary school with 135 students in Regional School District 20.

Goshen Center School is a standout performer, ranked 93rd out of 491 elementary schools in Connecticut, placing it in the 81st percentile with a 4-star rating. Its most striking academic achievement is a 100% proficiency rate in 3rd grade math on the SBAC—every single tested student met or exceeded the standard, far outpacing the district's 65.2% and the state's 52.2%. The school also shines in attendance: its 5.3% chronic absenteeism rate is less than half the district's 12.4% and roughly one-third of the state's 16.4%. However, with only 135 students across PK-5, the tested 3rd grade cohort is likely very small, so a single student's performance can swing percentages noticeably.

Across all reported SBAC subjects and grades, Goshen Center School consistently outperforms Connecticut state averages by wide margins—ELA proficiency runs about 15-17 percentage points above the state, while math runs 13-48 points above. The school also compares favorably to its district, beating district averages in most tested areas, with the lone exception being 5th grade ELA (69.2% vs. 74.0%). Notably, the school's 4-star rating exceeds its district's 3-star rating, suggesting it's one of the stronger schools within Regional School District 20. With 28.15% of students eligible for free/reduced lunch, the school achieves strong results while serving a moderate share of economically disadvantaged students. Since this zip code contains only an elementary school, families should note that students transition to regional schools outside 06756 for middle and high school, so this snapshot covers only the early education years.
