Summary:
Zip code 06798 contains one elementary school, Mitchell Elementary School, serving grades PK-5 in Woodbury, CT, within Regional School District 14. As the only school in the area, it stands out on its own merits: it ranks in the 65th percentile statewide for 2025-2026, up from the 51st percentile two years earlier, and it outperforms the Connecticut state average in nearly every grade and subject.
In 2025-2026, Mitchell Elementary posted a 65.6% overall proficiency average across tested subjects, versus 50.7% statewide. Its greatest strengths are math and science: 5th grade math proficiency reached 68.1% compared to 45.8% statewide, 4th grade math hit 73.5% versus 52.1% statewide, and 5th grade science was 72.3% versus 52.9% statewide. English Language Arts is the relative weakness, with 4th grade ELA at 55.1% versus 50.9% statewide and 5th grade ELA at 55.3% versus 53.5% statewide. Grade-level scores swing considerably year to year—such as 3rd grade ELA jumping from 38.3% to 67.3%—which is typical for a school with small cohorts. The school trails its district in 6 of 7 tested areas, but Regional School District 14 ranks in the 62nd percentile statewide, making it a strong comparison group.
Several factors support Mitchell's performance: chronic absenteeism is only 9.2% versus 16.4% statewide, just 19.5% of students qualify for free/reduced-price lunch, the student-teacher ratio is a favorable 12.2:1, and per-student spending is $18,029. With a 72-place climb in statewide ranking over two years and clear strengths in math and science, the school is well positioned for continued improvement, though literacy development in the upper elementary grades remains an area to watch.
