Summary:
The 06043 zip code in Connecticut is home to two schools - Bolton Center School, an elementary school, and Bolton High School. While both schools perform well academically, Bolton High School stands out as a top-performing high school in the state, ranking in the top 14% of Connecticut high schools.
Bolton High School consistently earns a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger, with students outperforming the state average on SAT English, SAT Math, and NGSS Science assessments. In contrast, Bolton Center School ranks 185th out of 497 Connecticut elementary schools, earning a 3-star rating, but still performs above the state average on most academic assessments. The high school also spends significantly more per student and has a lower student-teacher ratio compared to the elementary school, which may contribute to its stronger academic performance.
Both schools in the 06043 zip code serve relatively affluent student populations, with low rates of free/reduced lunch recipients. However, Bolton Center School has a more diverse student body, with 24.55% non-white students, compared to 18.88% non-white students at Bolton High School. This demographic difference could be an interesting factor to explore in relation to the schools' performance and resource allocation within the Bolton School District.
