Hartford Magnet Trinity College Academy

Summary:

Hartford Magnet Trinity College Academy is a diverse public magnet high school serving grades 6-12 in the Hartford School District, with a predominantly low-income student population.

The school consistently outperforms the Hartford School District average on standardized tests, ranking higher than other schools in the district. However, its statewide ranking has declined over the years, from 71 out of 121 Connecticut high schools in 2017-2018 to 93 out of 145 in 2023-2024. The school's performance varies significantly among different student subgroups, with African American students performing better than Hispanic and special education students. Compared to nearby magnet schools like Classical Magnet School and Sport and Medical Sciences Academy, Hartford Magnet Trinity College Academy lags behind in academic performance and statewide ranking.

Despite these challenges, Hartford Magnet Trinity College Academy has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 11.7 students per teacher, and its spending per student is higher than the nearby Pathways Academy of Technology and Design. This suggests a focus on providing additional resources and support to its diverse student population.

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.
