Elementary Schools in New Haven School District


Summary:

The New Haven School District in Connecticut is home to 27 elementary schools serving students from pre-kindergarten through 8th grade. The district as a whole faces significant academic challenges, ranking 147 out of 156 districts in the state and receiving a 0 out of 5-star rating from SchoolDigger.

However, a few schools within the district stand out as performing better than the district and state averages. Worthington Hooker School consistently outperforms in both English Language Arts and Mathematics, with 70.7% of 8th graders proficient or better in ELA compared to 29% for the district and 50.7% for the state. Nathan Hale School also demonstrates strong academic performance, with 48% of 7th graders proficient or better in ELA compared to 26.9% for the district and 50.4% for the state. Additionally, Mauro-Sheridan Magnet School stands out for its high proficiency rates in both ELA and Mathematics, particularly in the lower grades.

Despite these standout schools, the district faces significant challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates, high percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, and wide performance gaps between the district and state averages, especially in Mathematics. The data suggests that the magnet school model may be more effective in this context, but more work is needed to ensure equitable access to a high-quality education for all students in the New Haven School District.
