Summary

New Haven Elementary is a public elementary school in Columbia, Missouri, serving 257 students in grades PK-5 as part of the Columbia 93 school district.

While New Haven Elementary has consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 24.3% to 32.3%, its academic performance as measured by MAP test scores is significantly lower than the district and state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 21.7% of 4th-grade students were proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to 41.5% in the district and 43.8% statewide. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with free and reduced-price lunch rates ranging from 49.21% to 68.09%.

Compared to nearby schools in the Columbia 93 district, such as Mill Creek Elementary, Ulysses S. Grant Elementary, and John Ridgeway Elementary, New Haven Elementary consistently underperforms academically, with lower test scores and a lower statewide ranking. Despite the low academic performance, the school has a relatively high per-student spending, ranging from $13,308 to $16,675 over the past few years, suggesting the need for a comprehensive review of the school's practices and the implementation of targeted interventions to address these challenges.

as a previous student although being resentful of going to school the teachers were friendly and kind they helped me when I had troubles on projects and they work with me at my speed rather than forcing me to conform to outdated standards Close Quote
