Best Public Schools in Zip Code 04579

Summary:

The 04579 zip code is home to a single elementary school, Woolwich Central School, which serves grades PK-8 and is part of the Regional School Unit 01 - Lkrsu district. With 304 students, Woolwich Central School stands out for its strong academic performance, outpacing the district and state averages in both English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency.

While the school has a predominantly White student population, it maintains a relatively low free/reduced lunch rate of 19.74%, indicating a relatively low percentage of students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds. However, the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 21.3% is relatively high, which could be an area of concern that the school and district may want to address. Additionally, the school's Science proficiency, at 35.21%, is slightly lower than the district and state averages.

Overall, Woolwich Central School appears to be a strong-performing elementary school, with a consistent 3-star rating from SchoolDigger over the past three school years. While the school's academic achievement is commendable, the district and school may want to explore ways to address the high chronic absenteeism rate and potentially enhance the racial diversity of the student population.
