Each level is scored on its own scale — elementary, middle, and high are never ranked against each other.
The elementary years
The elementary schools average 27.8/100 — 11.0 points below the state average. Here is what that number does and doesn't say.
3 elementary schools span 10 points around an average of 27.8.
Students are showing up: chronic absenteeism runs 14.0% against a state average of 17.9%.
2 of 3 elementary schools sit in the Needs Support band — which campus you're zoned for carries real weight here.
The middle years
The middle schools sit at the state line (34.2 vs 38.6) — the 5-point school-to-school spread is where the choice lives.
All 2 middle schools land within 5 points — the average is a fair summary here.
Windsor Middle is the strongest option at 36/100 — 12.7% of its students exceed the state standard.
22.0% of students are chronically absent (state: 18.1%) — chronic means missing 10% or more of the school year. Whatever the scores say, ask each school what it is doing about attendance.
The high school years
The high schools average 43.8/100 — 10.2 points below the state average. Here is what that number does and doesn't say.
2 high schools span 27 points around an average of 43.8.
1 continuation/alternative school not plotted — it ranks within its own class, not on this statewide axis.
Windsor High is the strongest option at 57/100 — 17.1% of its students exceed the state standard.
34.1% of students are chronically absent (state: 23.1%) — chronic means missing 10% or more of the school year. Whatever the scores say, ask each school what it is doing about attendance.
What it means for your family
Compare schools at your child’s level before deciding on an address. The strongest attendance-zone candidate is Brooks Elementary at 26/100 — confirm the exact boundary with the district before the house.
2 of the 7 ranked schools are charters — enrollment paths that don't depend on your address. If your zoned school sits low in the appendix below, those lotteries and applications are the levers worth the paperwork.
A band is a position, not a prophecy — 1 campus here ranks as On the Rise, its returning cohorts gaining more than most schools statewide. Ask your school two questions: what happens for a kid who arrives behind, and what the classroom looks like for one who arrives ahead.

Top scorers at each level — not necessarily one zoned sequence. Confirm feeder patterns and enrollment zones with the district, and visit before you decide.
What this page can't see: whether a campus feels safe and glad at 8 a.m. If a path above looks workable, the next step is a visit.
