Summary

Momauguin School is an elementary school in East Haven, CT, serving 302 students in grades PK-5 within the East Haven School District. The school serves a high-poverty population, with about 72% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, but it maintains a favorable student-teacher ratio of 12:1. While Momauguin ranks in the lower third of Connecticut elementary schools overall, it is actually the highest-performing elementary school in East Haven, ranking above Carbone School/East Haven Academy and Grove J. Tuttle School despite serving a higher-poverty population than either of those schools.

One of the school's biggest bright spots is 5th grade. In the most recent school year, Momauguin's 5th graders scored at or near the state average in English language arts and science, and far above the district average in all three tested subjects. The school also stands out for its attendance: the chronic absenteeism rate has dropped from 21.1% to 13.4% over the last three years, which is now below both the district and state averages and much better than several nearby schools in New Haven and West Haven. Additionally, Momauguin shows exceptional results with its Hispanic students, who perform in the top half to top quarter of Connecticut schools in recent years, a notable strength given the school's overall ranking.

Momauguin also compares favorably to many nearby New Haven School District schools like Nathan Hale School and John S. Martinez Sea and Sky STEM School, outperforming them in most tested grade levels despite serving similarly high-poverty populations. However, it still trails the more affluent Branford School District elementary schools, such as John B. Sliney School and Mary T. Murphy School, which have more funding and lower poverty rates. The school's performance varies considerably from year to year and grade to grade. Still, with improving attendance, strong 5th grade results, and clear success with Hispanic students, Momauguin appears to be a school doing meaningful work with the resources it has, and one worth watching for continued improvement.
