Summary:
The 06370 zip code area is home to 4 schools in the Montville School District, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. While the district as a whole is ranked 93 out of 158 in Connecticut, the individual schools show a wide range of performance, with some standouts that are significantly outperforming the district and state averages.
The top-performing schools in the area are Oakdale School and Dr. Charles E. Murphy School, both elementary schools. Oakdale School has consistently high test scores, with 70.9% of 5th graders proficient or better in ELA and 60.8% in Math, well above the district and state averages. Dr. Charles E. Murphy School also outperforms the district and state, with 64.7% of 3rd graders proficient or better in ELA and 70.6% in Math. These schools serve economically diverse student populations, with free/reduced lunch rates ranging from 32.45% to 46.29%, yet they still manage to excel academically.
In contrast, the middle school (Leonard J. Tyl Middle School) and high school (Montville High School) in the district do not perform as strongly on standardized tests, suggesting that the elementary schools are providing a strong foundation for student learning. However, the district's relatively low student-teacher ratios, ranging from 9.5 to 12.3, may contribute to the schools' ability to support students effectively, even in the face of economic challenges.
