Summary

King/Robinson Magnet School is a PK–8 school in New Haven, CT, serving 412 students in a high-poverty area of the city. The school sits within the New Haven School District, which ranks near the bottom of Connecticut districts, and King/Robinson itself ranks in the 5th percentile statewide. About 80% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch. Chronic absenteeism has improved dramatically from 62.8% in 2021–2022 to 31.0% today, but that rate remains nearly double the state average. Academically, proficiency rates in English language arts, math, and science sit in the mid-teens to mid-20s, far below state averages of roughly 50%.

Compared with nearby schools, King/Robinson is among the lowest-performing in the area. Worthington Hooker School ranks in the 75th percentile, Mauro-Sheridan Magnet School in the 40th, and Celentano BioTech Health and Medical Magnet School in the 15th. In 7th grade ELA, only 17.1% of King/Robinson students were proficient, compared with 52.2% statewide, 50.0% at Mauro-Sheridan, and 69.0% at Worthington Hooker. Even Beecher School, with nearly identical poverty rates, outperformed King/Robinson in 8th grade ELA and science. Chronic absenteeism at King/Robinson is dramatically higher than at Worthington Hooker (6.5%) and Celentano (15.8%).

Notably, resources do not appear to be the main constraint. King/Robinson has a student-teacher ratio of 12.1 — more staff per student than Worthington Hooker (19.0) or Mauro-Sheridan (15.0) — and per-pupil spending of $17,225 exceeds both of those higher-performing schools. The school's outcomes for special education and low-income students rank near the bottom statewide, signaling that instructional effectiveness and student support, not funding, are the core challenges. The steady decline in chronic absenteeism is a genuine bright spot, but test scores show no consistent upward trend. For parents, the success of nearby schools with similar poverty levels demonstrates that stronger results are achievable — but King/Robinson has significant work ahead in its middle grades and for its highest-need students.

Monday, February 27, 2017

Since enrolling my first child at King/Robinson, I have been throughly pleased with the school and the curriculum they provide. I now have both my children in the school and they both are in the French Immersion Program. They are challenged each day so that they don't ever feel bored or lose interest in what they are learning. My husband and I also love that they are learning how to be active and knowledgeable members of their local and global communities. I give this school 5 stars hands down. Close Quote
