Summary:
The 06461 zip code is home to a single public high school, Platt Technical High School, which serves grades 9-12. While the school has a diverse student population, its academic performance, as measured by standardized test scores, is significantly below the state and district averages, particularly in mathematics. With a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, the school faces challenges in providing a high-quality education to its economically disadvantaged student population.
Platt Technical High School's 11th-grade proficiency rates in math (3.3%), English language arts (23.7%), and science (25.3%) are all lower than the Connecticut Technical Education and Career System and the statewide averages. Additionally, the school's ranking has declined over the past three years, from 97th out of 139 Connecticut high schools in 2021-2022 to 122nd out of 145 schools in the current 2023-2024 school year, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.
The high percentage of economically disadvantaged students at Platt Technical High School (45.74% eligible for free or reduced-price lunch) suggests that the school may need to implement targeted strategies to support the academic and social-emotional needs of its diverse student population. The school's declining performance and ranking indicate that further investigation and interventions may be necessary to improve student outcomes and provide a high-quality education for all learners in the 06461 zip code.
