Savin Rock Community School

Summary:

Savin Rock Community School is an elementary school serving grades PK-4 in West Haven, Connecticut, part of the West Haven School District. With a diverse student population, the school has faced academic challenges, consistently underperforming compared to the district and state in standardized test scores.

Savin Rock Community School has been ranked in the bottom half of Connecticut elementary schools for several years, with a 1 or 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. While the school has shown strengths in the performance of specific student subgroups, such as its African American and Hispanic students, its White students and students with special needs have consistently underperformed. The school's high percentage of students from low-income families, with over 60% receiving free or reduced-price lunch, may contribute to these academic challenges.

When compared to other elementary schools in the West Haven School District, such as Alma E. Pagels School and Seth G. Haley School, Savin Rock Community School appears to be performing similarly or slightly worse in terms of academic achievement and school rankings. However, the school's strengths in supporting certain student subgroups suggest that there may be opportunities for improvement through targeted interventions and leveraging these successes.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
