Summary:

ZIP code 06804 in Brookfield, Connecticut is served by three public schools within the Brookfield School District: Candlewood Lake Elementary School (PK–5, 1,085 students), Whisconier Middle School (5–8, 595 students), and Brookfield High School (9–12, 849 students), for a combined enrollment of 2,529. The district ranks 70th of 153 Connecticut districts, while school-level rankings vary from 3 stars at the elementary school to 4 stars at the middle and high schools.

Whisconier Middle School is the standout performer, ranked 53rd of 258 Connecticut middle schools (79th percentile). Its math program is exceptional: 6th grade math proficiency reaches 65.5% versus a 44.4% state average, and 8th grade math jumped 14.1 points to 58.5% in a single year. Brookfield High School also delivers excellent outcomes with a 97.8% graduation rate, far above the state's 91.2%, and SAT proficiency of 71% in ELA and 41% in math. Candlewood Lake Elementary School, the largest school in the ZIP, shows strong 5th grade ELA (71.6% vs. 53.5% state) and science (65.3% vs. 52.9%) results, but its 5th grade math proficiency (46%) barely matches the state average and represents a sharp 16.7-point drop from 4th grade math (62.7%).

Chronic absenteeism is a district-wide strength: rates are 4.4% at the elementary, 6.5% at the middle, and 9.7% at the high school, all well below the 16.4% state average, with the high school notably above its own district average of 6.9%. Free/reduced lunch eligibility is a consistent 24% across all three schools, indicating a socioeconomically uniform community. Noteworthy patterns include the 5th grade math dip and a 30-point gap between high school SAT ELA and math proficiency. Since both the elementary and middle schools serve 5th grade, that shared grade may contribute to transitional complexity in the data. Overall, families in ZIP 06804 have access to a solidly above-average set of schools, anchored by an excellent middle school and a high school with outstanding graduation outcomes.
