Public, Magnet Grades 9-12

Summary

Greater Hartford Academy of the Arts High School - Full Day is a public magnet high school in Hartford, Connecticut that serves grades 9-12 with a student population of 424. This school faces several challenges, including lower academic performance, a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, and declining statewide rankings over time.

Compared to nearby schools, Greater Hartford Academy of the Arts High School - Full Day has a more diverse student population, with 19.58% White, 21.93% African American, 48.58% Hispanic, 0.71% Asian, and 4.72% two or more races. However, the school's academic performance, as measured by standardized test scores, is generally lower than the state and Hartford School District averages. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 34.8% of 11th-grade students were proficient or better in SAT/English Language Arts, compared to the state average of 54.8%. The school also ranks lower than the state average for specific student subgroups, such as female, male, African American, and special education students.

The school's high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, at 68.63% in the 2022-2023 school year, suggests a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. Additionally, the school's statewide ranking has steadily declined over the past several years, from a high of 92 out of 121 Connecticut high schools in 2018-2019 to 118 out of 145 in the 2023-2024 school year. This decline in performance may be influenced by the school's proximity to other high-performing magnet schools in the area, such as Pathways Academy of Technology and Design, Classical Magnet School, and Hartford Magnet Trinity College Academy.
