Jumoke Academy

Summary:

Jumoke Academy is a public charter school in Hartford, Connecticut that serves students from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade. The school has a diverse student population, with over 92% of students identifying as African American.

While Jumoke Academy's student performance on standardized tests, such as the SBAC in English Language Arts and Mathematics, is generally lower than the state average, the school faces unique challenges. Jumoke Academy has a very high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. Additionally, the school's student-teacher ratio has fluctuated in recent years, ranging from 15.6 to 31.4, which is generally higher than the nearby Capital Preparatory Magnet School and Achievement First Hartford Academy.

Interestingly, Jumoke Academy's performance on standardized tests is lower than the nearby Capital Preparatory Magnet School and Achievement First Hartford Academy, which are also located in Hartford School District. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, the percentage of students proficient or better in SBAC/ELA for 5th grade was 22.2% at Capital Preparatory Magnet School and 34.9% at Achievement First Hartford Academy, compared to 11.8% at Jumoke Academy. To address these challenges, Jumoke Academy may need to explore strategies to improve instructional quality, provide targeted interventions for struggling students, and ensure adequate resources and support for both students and teachers.

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.
