Summary

Family Academy of Multilingual Exploration is an elementary school serving grades PK-8 in the New Haven School District in Connecticut. The school has 462 students and is located at 255 Blatchley Ave. in New Haven.

Family Academy of Multilingual Exploration has consistently struggled with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 17.7% to 37.5% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state and district averages. The school's performance on standardized tests is also very low compared to the state and district, with only 12.2% of 3rd graders, 15.4% of 7th graders, and 17.3% of 8th graders projected to be proficient or better in English Language Arts in 2024-2025. The school's math and science proficiency rates are also well below state and district averages. This poor academic performance is particularly pronounced for certain student subgroups, such as female students, Hispanic students, and English Language Learners.

In comparison, nearby magnet schools like Celentano BioTech Health and Medical Magnet School, East Rock Community Magnet School, and Worthington Hooker School have higher test scores, lower chronic absenteeism rates, and better overall performance. The challenges facing Family Academy of Multilingual Exploration, including high rates of chronic absenteeism, a high concentration of students from low-income backgrounds, and poor academic performance, suggest the need for significant interventions and support to improve educational outcomes for its students.
