Six-Six Magnet School

Summary:

Six-Six Magnet School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-8 in Bridgeport, Connecticut, part of the Bridgeport School District. Despite being in a district ranked 114 out of 158 in the state, this diverse school consistently outperforms its peers, particularly in academic proficiency across various grade levels and subjects.

Six-Six Magnet School's academic performance is impressive, with higher proficiency rates than the district and state in 4th grade English Language Arts, 8th grade English Language Arts, and 6th grade Mathematics. Its Hispanic students and male students also perform exceptionally well compared to their peers in Connecticut, with the school's Hispanic students ranking 13th out of 173 elementary schools in English Language Arts and its male students ranking 198th out of 445 in the state. While the school's overall ranking has fluctuated over the past decade, it has maintained a relatively stable 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Compared to nearby schools in the Bridgeport School District, such as Edison School, Hall School, and Thomas Hooker School, Six-Six Magnet School stands out with its stronger academic performance. This may be attributed to its lower percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, higher per-student spending, and relatively low student-teacher ratio, all of which suggest the school has more resources and support to foster student success.

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.
