Summary

Celentano BioTech Health and Medical Magnet School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-8 in the New Haven School District in Connecticut, with 362 students. Despite being a magnet school focused on biotech and health, the school has consistently ranked in the bottom quartile of Connecticut elementary schools over the past decade, with a 0 or 1 out of 5 star rating from SchoolDigger.com.

Celentano BioTech significantly underperforms compared to the district and state on standardized test scores, with only 23.1% of 8th graders proficient in ELA and 29.7% of 7th graders proficient in math, compared to state averages of 50.7% and 43.2% respectively. The school also faces challenges with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 17.7% to 43.5% over the past few years, much higher than the state average. Additionally, 81.22% of Celentano BioTech students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high-poverty student population.

Compared to other nearby schools in the New Haven School District, such as Clinton Avenue School, Barack H. Obama Magnet University School, and Wexler/Grant Community School, Celentano BioTech is one of the lowest-performing, indicating systemic challenges within the district that need to be addressed. Addressing the school's issues with student engagement, attendance, and targeted support for its high-needs student population will be crucial to improving academic outcomes.
