Coleytown Middle School

Summary:

Coleytown Middle School is a high-performing public middle school in Westport, Connecticut, serving 464 students in grades 6-8. The school consistently ranks among the top 20 middle schools in the state and boasts exceptional academic achievement, with significantly higher proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics compared to the state average.

Coleytown Middle School's academic success can be attributed to several key factors. The school has a low student-teacher ratio of 10:1, which likely contributes to the personalized attention and support students receive. Additionally, the school's student population comes from a relatively high socioeconomic background, with only 1.72% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. This suggests that the school's resources and parental involvement may play a role in its outstanding performance. When compared to nearby schools, such as Ponus Ridge STEAM Academy and Nathan Hale Middle School, Coleytown Middle School consistently outperforms them academically, with higher proficiency rates in both English Language Arts and Mathematics.

Another notable aspect of Coleytown Middle School is its student demographics. The school has a significantly higher percentage of White students (75%) compared to the state average, and a lower percentage of minority students, such as African American (2.8%) and Hispanic (6.9%) students. This contrasts with some nearby schools, like Ponus Ridge STEAM Academy and West Rocks Middle School, which have a more diverse student population. Additionally, Coleytown Middle School's per-student spending of $27,339 in the 2018-2019 school year was higher than many of the nearby schools, which may contribute to the school's resources and academic support.

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.
