Summary

Momauguin School is an elementary school in East Haven, Connecticut, serving 308 students from kindergarten to 5th grade. The school is part of the East Haven School District, which is ranked 139 out of 156 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Momauguin School has consistently been ranked in the bottom half of Connecticut elementary schools, with a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger for most of the past decade. The school faces several challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates, low test scores in English Language Arts and Mathematics that are below state and district averages, and significant performance gaps between different student subgroups. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 26.8% of 3rd graders and 42.2% of 5th graders were proficient or better in ELA, compared to the state averages of 46.9% and 52.5%, respectively.

Interestingly, Momauguin School's performance is generally lower than the nearby Grove J. Tuttle School and Carbone School/East Haven Academy, which have higher test scores, lower chronic absenteeism rates, and better overall rankings from SchoolDigger. Additionally, Momauguin School's ranking and performance have declined over the past decade, suggesting the school may need to implement significant improvements to address these challenges and better support the academic success of its students.
