STEM Magnet at Annie Fisher School

Summary:

STEM Magnet at Annie Fisher School is a public K-8 magnet school in the Hartford School District in Connecticut, with a focus on science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education. The school serves a diverse student population, predominantly African American and Hispanic.

STEM Magnet at Annie Fisher School consistently outperforms the Hartford School District in academic proficiency, with significantly higher scores on SBAC English Language Arts and Mathematics assessments. As a magnet school, it likely attracts students from a wider geographic area and offers a specialized STEM-focused curriculum, contributing to its strong academic performance. However, the school has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the years, from 174 out of 518 Connecticut elementary schools in 2015-2016 to 325 out of 497 in 2023-2024, suggesting it may be struggling to keep pace with other high-performing schools across the state.

When compared to nearby schools, STEM Magnet at Annie Fisher School generally outperforms them in academic proficiency, particularly in SBAC assessments. However, some nearby magnet schools, such as Breakthrough Magnet School North, also demonstrate strong academic performance, indicating that the magnet school model may be a contributing factor to the success of these schools. Additionally, the high percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients at STEM Magnet at Annie Fisher School suggests that the school serves a population with significant socioeconomic challenges, which may impact academic outcomes and require additional support and resources.

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.
