Bishop Woods Architecture and Design Magnet School

Summary:

Bishop Woods Architecture and Design Magnet School is a K-8 elementary school in the New Haven School District in Connecticut, serving a diverse student population that is majority Hispanic (52.97%) and African American (34.7%).

Despite spending more per student ($16,999 to $17,427) than nearby schools like Fair Haven School ($16,337) and Family Academy of Multilingual Exploration ($14,620), Bishop Woods has consistently underperformed, ranking in the bottom half of Connecticut elementary schools with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. In the 2023-2024 school year, only 19.1% of 3rd graders were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 45.9% statewide and 16.6% in the New Haven district. The school also has a relatively high student-teacher ratio, ranging from 12.8 to 14.8 over the past few years.

The high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, ranging from 75.51% to 83.56% receiving free or reduced-price lunch, suggests that the school may be facing challenges in addressing the unique needs of its diverse student population. While the school's focus on architecture and design may present unique opportunities, the data indicates that the school has not yet been able to leverage these opportunities effectively to improve academic outcomes.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
