Summary:
The 06786 zip code area in Connecticut is home to 3 schools - 1 elementary, 1 middle, and 1 high school - all part of the Plymouth School District. While the schools face some challenges, such as below-average test scores and high rates of economically disadvantaged students, one school stands out as a strong performer - Eli Terry Junior Middle School.
Eli Terry Junior Middle School is the top-performing school in the area, with a statewide ranking of 117 out of 249 Connecticut middle schools and a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school boasts relatively strong test scores, with over 45% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and over 33% proficient or better in Mathematics. Additionally, Eli Terry has a lower student-teacher ratio of 9.3, which may contribute to its success. In contrast, Terryville High School has seen a decline in its statewide ranking, dropping from 67 out of 121 high schools in 2017-2018 to 78 out of 142 in 2022-2023.
Across the schools, there are some common challenges, such as below-average test scores, particularly in mathematics, and high rates of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 42.78% to 48.03%. This suggests that the schools in the 06786 zip code area may need to focus on improving math instruction and supporting their economically disadvantaged student populations. However, Harry S. Fisher Elementary School stands out for its strong 5th grade science proficiency rate, which exceeds the state average.
