New Haven School District


Summary:

The New Haven School District in Connecticut operates 37 schools, including 27 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 9 high schools, serving students from diverse backgrounds. The district as a whole is ranked 147 out of 156 districts in the state and is rated 0 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger.

A few schools stand out in the district. The Engineering - Science University Magnet School is the highest-performing high school, ranking 55th out of 141 high schools in Connecticut and earning 3 out of 5 stars. The Worthington Hooker School is the highest-performing elementary school, ranking 196th out of 493 elementary schools in the state and earning 3 out of 5 stars. The Mauro-Sheridan Magnet School is the second-highest performing elementary school, ranking 275th out of 493 and earning 2 out of 5 stars.

However, the district faces significant challenges, including a district-wide chronic absenteeism rate of 17.7%, which is much higher than the state average. Additionally, the district's test scores are consistently lower than the state averages across all subjects and grade levels, with the majority of schools having high rates of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. Addressing these equity and access issues will be crucial for improving the overall performance of the New Haven School District.
