Summary

Luis Munoz Marin School is a large PK-8 school in Bridgeport, CT, serving 709 students in a high-poverty neighborhood, and it is part of the Bridgeport School District, which ranks among the lowest districts in the state.

Academically, Luis Munoz Marin is among the lowest-performing schools in Connecticut. In 2025-2026, no tested grade or subject reached even 20% proficiency, with 6th grade math at 9.7% and 7th grade math at 7.1%, compared to state averages of 44-52%. The school ranks in the 2nd percentile statewide. Chronic absenteeism is also a major issue: 35.3% of students miss enough school to be considered chronically absent, more than double the state rate of 16.4%. Nearby schools with similar poverty levels perform much better. For example, Multicultural Magnet School has 89.7% free/reduced lunch eligibility but ranks in the 38th percentile, while High Horizons Magnet School (86.7% poverty) ranks in the 11th percentile. This shows that poverty alone does not explain the performance gap; attendance and school model matter greatly.

Spending at Luis Munoz Marin is moderate at $12,686 per pupil, lower than several neighborhood schools like Beardsley School ($14,667) and Edison School ($16,654). The student-teacher ratio of 15.2:1 is also higher than many peers, suggesting larger class sizes. However, the highest-performing nearby magnet schools actually spend less, so resource allocation appears more important than raw dollars. One notable bright spot: outcomes for English learner students are relatively stronger than other subgroups, earning one or two stars in past years. The clearest opportunities for improvement are reducing chronic absenteeism, adopting successful practices from higher-performing magnet schools, and building on the strengths shown with English learners.
