Summary

Regional Multicultural Magnet School is an elementary school located in New London, Connecticut, serving 495 students from kindergarten to 5th grade. The school has a diverse student population and focuses on providing a multicultural education.

While the school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Connecticut elementary schools, with a 1 or 2 out of 5 SchoolDigger star rating, its performance for Hispanic students is relatively stronger, ranking between 38-71 out of 108-132 schools. However, the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics are generally lower than the district and state averages, with some exceptions in 5th-grade ELA. The school also faces challenges with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 17.7% to 25.2% over the past few years.

Compared to nearby magnet schools, such as Winthrop STEM Elementary Magnet School and C.B. Jennings International Elementary Magnet, which also serve diverse student populations, Regional Multicultural Magnet School's performance is generally weaker. These nearby magnet schools have higher proficiency rates and better statewide rankings, suggesting that Regional Multicultural Magnet School may need to examine its instructional practices and support systems to improve student outcomes. Additionally, the school's high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with 68.28% eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, may contribute to the school's lower academic performance.
