Coleytown Elementary School stands out for its strong academic record, with students scoring significantly higher on standardized tests compared to the state average. In the 2023-2024 school year, 79.1% of 3rd graders, 81.1% of 4th graders, and 88.6% of 5th graders were proficient or better in English Language Arts, far exceeding the state averages of 45.9%, 49.4%, and 51.4%, respectively. In mathematics, the school had 79.1% of 3rd graders, 79.7% of 4th graders, and 81% of 5th graders proficient or better, compared to the state averages of 51.3%, 49.7%, and 43.1%.

While Coleytown Elementary School has a relatively homogeneous student population, with 75.47% of students identifying as White, this is a common characteristic of high-performing schools in affluent communities. The school's low percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, at only 1.68%, suggests that the student population comes from higher-income families. Additionally, Coleytown Elementary School has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 11.2 students per teacher, which may contribute to the school's academic success by providing more individualized attention and support for students. These factors, combined with the school's strong academic performance, make Coleytown Elementary School an attractive option for families in the Westport School District.

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.
