Original Research by School Decision on Regional School District 06
Regional School District 06 serves the northwest Connecticut towns of Goshen, Morris, and Warren across PreK through grade 12. The district has undergone a substantial structural change: in June 2022, voters approved dissolving Region 6 and merging it with Litchfield Public Schools to form Regional School District 20, which opened for the 2024-25 school year. This means the district as it existed is no longer operating. Families in these towns are now part of a four-town regional system that consolidates elementary schools within each town but centralizes middle and high school in Litchfield.
The enrollment is small. Region 6 served roughly mid-double-digit numbers in most elementary grades and somewhat higher in the high school grades. The student population is predominantly white, with Hispanic students representing the next largest group and other races present in small numbers. Free and reduced lunch data and information on students with IEPs or English learners were not available.
On state assessment results, Region 6's performance across tested grades showed mixed patterns. In math, third-graders and eighth-graders performed above the middle range, sixth-graders performed at the higher end of the range, while fifth-graders performed at the lower end. In English language arts, performance was generally solid, with eighth-graders and fifth-graders at stronger levels and third and fourth-graders performing in the middle range; seventh-grade results were suppressed. In fifth-grade science, the district showed solid proficiency; eighth-grade science results were suppressed. A parent may want to ask the district whether enrollment size has affected testing; very small grade cohorts sometimes lead to data suppression.
When compared against the districts in the Northwest Hills Planning Region, Region 6's overall proficiency index placed it in the top quartile. Its chronic absenteeism rate was in the bottom quartile, meaning it was notably higher than the regional median, something a parent may want to explore directly with school leadership. The district's per-pupil current spending was in the lower-middle range for the region.
High school graduation rate data was not available. The district operated five schools: Goshen Center School and Warren Elementary School (elementary), James Morris School (elementary), Wamogo Regional Middle School, and Wamogo Regional High School. All are now operationally part of Regional School District 20's structure.
The merger represents the defining context for any family considering these towns. Elementary students remain in their home communities, but all middle schoolers now attend a regional middle school in Litchfield, and all high schoolers attend what was Wamogo but is now called Lakeview High School, also in Litchfield. The change was driven by declining enrollment and projected cost savings, though per-capita tax benefit varies significantly across the four towns. A prospective resident or parent should view enrollment, school assignments, and financial impact through the lens of the new regional system rather than the previous district structure.
