Summary

Augusta Lewis Troup School is a PK-8 school in New Haven, CT, serving 300 students within the New Haven School District, a district that ranks near the bottom of Connecticut. The school serves a high-poverty population — 87.7% of students qualified for free/reduced lunch in 2024-25 — and is low-performing by statewide standards, ranking 457th out of 491 Connecticut elementary schools (7th percentile), though this is a meaningful improvement from ranking dead last in 2020-21.

Chronic absenteeism is the school's most pressing challenge: 37.4% of students are chronically absent, more than double the state rate (16.4%) and above the district rate (30.6%). The good news is that this is down dramatically from 60.2% in 2021-22. Troup also boasts one of the lowest student-teacher ratios in the area at 9.6, and per-pupil spending of about $16,000 is on par with nearby schools. Yet academics remain concerning. In 4th grade, Troup's ELA (20.5%) and math (17.9%) proficiency rates are close to or above the district average, and they beat several nearby schools including Beecher School and Barnard Environmental Magnet School. By 7th grade, however, only 16.3% of students are proficient in ELA — a full 11 points below the district — signaling a steep drop in the middle grades.

Nearby Celentano BioTech Health and Medical Magnet School, with similar demographics (80.5% free/reduced lunch), demonstrates what's possible: 41.7% proficiency in 8th grade ELA and chronic absenteeism of just 15.8%, less than half of Troup's. This suggests Troup's outcomes are not inevitable. The school is improving — attendance is up and early elementary scores are competitive — but the steep middle-school decline and persistent absenteeism remain the highest-leverage targets for change.

Open Quote One of the WORST schools in New Haven. The teachers are over worked. The administration staff have no control over the students. There is a lot of bullying that is swept under the rug... students are very disrespectful, disruptive, and disorderly. My son will not attend this school come Aungust! Close Quote
