Summary:

The 05001 zip code area is home to two elementary schools, Dothan Brook School and White River School, both part of the Hartford School District. While both schools serve students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade, they exhibit some notable differences in their academic performance and overall rankings.

Dothan Brook School has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past three years, dropping from 29th in 2022-2023 to 78th in 2024-2025. The school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics are generally lower than the state averages, particularly in 3rd grade. Additionally, Dothan Brook School has a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate of 14.4% in 2023-2024, which can impact student learning and academic outcomes.

In contrast, White River School has maintained a relatively high statewide ranking over the past three years, though it has declined from 36th in 2022-2023 to 49th in 2024-2025. The school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics are higher than the state averages, especially in 4th and 5th grades. However, White River School has a very high chronic absenteeism rate of 33.8% in 2022-2023, which is an area of concern that the school may need to address.
