of 141 Connecticut High Schools

Better than 48% of Connecticut high schools

Summary

Aerospace/Hydrospace Engineering and Physical Sciences Magne is a public magnet high school located in Bridgeport, Connecticut, serving grades 9-12 with an enrollment of 330 students. Despite being part of the Bridgeport School District, which is ranked 152 out of 156 districts in the state, this school stands out as a relatively high-performing institution.

The school consistently outperforms the Bridgeport School District and the state of Connecticut in standardized test scores, particularly in English Language Arts and Science. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, 51.9% of 11th-grade students at the school were proficient or better in SAT/English Language Arts, compared to 33.5% for the Bridgeport School District and 58% for the state. The school has also maintained a relatively high four-year graduation rate, ranging from 74% to 88.9% over the past few years. Additionally, the school has performed well in serving certain student subgroups, such as African American and Hispanic students, who have ranked highly compared to their peers in the state.

However, the school faces challenges with chronic absenteeism, ranging from 17.7% to 29.1% in recent years, which may require additional support and resources to address. Despite serving a high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, the school has been able to maintain relatively strong academic performance, outperforming other high schools in the Bridgeport area, such as Central High School and Warren Harding High School. However, the school still lags behind the high-performing Trumbull High School, which is located just a few miles away in the neighboring Trumbull School District.
