Summary

Lincoln-Bassett School is an elementary school serving grades PK-6 in the New Haven School District, with a student population of 237 as of the 2022-2023 school year. The school faces significant challenges, with consistently low academic performance, high poverty rates, and underperformance of specific student subgroups.

Despite spending a relatively high amount per student, ranging from $16,566 to $17,053 per year, Lincoln-Bassett School consistently ranks among the lowest-performing elementary schools in Connecticut, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics significantly below the state and district averages. The school's African American and special education students perform particularly poorly compared to their peers statewide, ranking among the bottom 10% of schools in Connecticut for these subgroups. This highlights the persistent racial achievement gaps in the district and the need for targeted interventions to address these disparities.

While the nearby schools in the New Haven School District also struggle with low academic performance, some schools, such as Worthington Hooker School, demonstrate significantly higher proficiency rates and statewide rankings. Understanding the factors that contribute to the success of these higher-performing schools could provide valuable insights for improving Lincoln-Bassett School and addressing the root causes of its persistent challenges.
