Summary

Mauro-Sheridan Magnet School is a Pre-K–8 magnet school in New Haven, CT, serving about 482 students as part of the New Haven School District. While the district ranks in the bottom 7% of Connecticut districts, the school stands out: it ranked 293rd of 491 schools statewide (40th percentile) in 2025–2026, earning 2 stars. The school serves a predominantly low-income population — about 71% of students qualify for free/reduced lunch — yet consistently outperforms schools with similar demographics around the region.

Test scores are the clearest signal of the school's strength. Its 3rd grade math proficiency (52.2%) matches the state average and more than doubles the district average (22%). Sixth grade math is even more striking: 58% proficient — 41 points above the New Haven average and 14 points above the state. The school outranks every nearby school, including Beecher School, Edgewood School, Davis Academy for Arts & Design Innovation, Barnard Environmental Magnet School, Barack H. Obama Magnet University School, and Augusta Lewis Troup School, most of which fall below the 20th percentile statewide. Even Elm City Montessori School, which has lower poverty and far lower absenteeism, posted weaker 3rd grade math scores. The school also earned a 5-star subgroup rating for its African American students, ranking 2nd of 18 schools statewide.

Attendance is the clearest opportunity for improvement. The school has cut chronic absenteeism by more than half since 2021–2022, but 24.1% of students are still chronically absent — better than the district average of 30.6% and peers like King/Robinson Magnet School (31.0%), yet well above the state rate of 16.4%. Upper-grade science is another weak spot: only 20.5% of 8th graders are proficient, below the district average of 27.7%. Even so, the school remains the strongest academic performer in its immediate cluster, delivering near-state results in several subjects despite significant economic challenges. Its steady upward trajectory since the pandemic makes it a standout success story within New Haven.
