Summary:
The 62056 high-school list contains one school, Litchfield Senior High School, serving grades 9–12 with 382 students. Its 2025–26 results are mixed: some English and science scores were at or above state results, while math proficiency was lower in every tested grade. The clearest concern for parents is math: proficiency was 27% in grade 11, 26% in grade 10 and 32% in grade 9, each about 10–13 percentage points below the state.
The school’s strongest comparisons were grade 9 ELA, where 67% were proficient versus 62% statewide, and grade 9 science, at 49% versus 47%. Grade 10 ELA was essentially even with the state: 53.8% versus 53.7%. At the other end, grade 11 ACT math had the largest shortfall, 27% versus 40% statewide; grade 11 science was also below state results, 37% versus 48%. Because this is the only listed school, there is no meaningful school-to-school top or bottom ranking within the ZIP code.
Recent changes were encouraging in grade 10 but uneven elsewhere. From 2024–25 to 2025–26, grade 10 results rose 9 points in ELA, 8 in math and 7 in science; meanwhile, grade 11 math fell 4 points and science fell 7, while grade 11 ELA rose 3. Across the nine subject-and-grade comparisons, the average gap to state results narrowed by about 2 points, though math remained the weakest area. SchoolDigger’s rating moved from the 50th percentile and 3 stars in 2023–24 to the 44th percentile and 2 stars in 2025–26. Other context: the graduation rate was 96%, versus 90% statewide, and chronic absenteeism was 23%, about 1 point below the state. In 2024–25, 54% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible, and the student-teacher ratio was 13.4.
