Summary:
The 06854 zip code area in Connecticut is home to 5 schools, including 3 elementary schools, 2 high schools, and no middle schools or alternative schools. The schools in this area serve diverse student populations with varying levels of academic performance and economic disadvantage.
The standout schools in the area are Center for Global Studies, a public magnet high school that ranks 26th out of 145 Connecticut high schools and demonstrates much higher proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math compared to district and state averages, and Side By Side Charter School, a K-8 public charter school that also shows strong academic performance, particularly in 7th grade English Language Arts and 6th grade Math, despite serving a high-needs student population with a 58.9% free/reduced lunch rate.
In contrast, the traditional public elementary and high schools in the area, such as Brien McMahon High School and Brookside Elementary School, generally perform below the Norwalk School District and state averages on standardized tests. The wide range in student-teacher ratios, from 9.2 at Center for Global Studies to 16.8 at Side By Side Charter School, may be a contributing factor to the academic differences observed between the schools in the 06854 zip code area.
