Summary

Mauro-Sheridan Magnet School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-8 in New Haven, Connecticut, with 502 students enrolled. While the school has consistently outperformed the New Haven School District average on standardized tests, particularly in English Language Arts, its academic performance still lags behind the state average in most grade levels and subjects.

One of the school's key challenges is its high chronic absenteeism rate, ranging from 17.7% to 37.5% in recent years, which is significantly higher than the state average. Mauro-Sheridan Magnet School serves a predominantly low-income student population, with 68.73% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in 2023-2024. However, the school has performed relatively well for its African American students, ranking among the top 2-11 elementary schools in Connecticut for this subgroup in recent years.

Compared to nearby schools in the New Haven School District, such as Augusta Lewis Troup School, Lincoln-Bassett School, and Brennan Rogers School, Mauro-Sheridan Magnet School generally outperforms them in academic performance. However, it lags behind some other magnet schools in the area, such as Beecher School and Davis Academy for Arts & Design Innovation, which have higher test scores and lower chronic absenteeism.
