Gallup Hill School faces several challenges, including a declining racial diversity, with the percentage of White students increasing from 74% in 2020-2021 to 71.2% in 2022-2023, while the percentage of minority students has decreased. Academically, the school's performance, as measured by SBAC/NGSS test scores, is generally below the Ledyard School District and Connecticut state averages across most grade levels and subjects. For example, in 2023-2024, the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics were lower than the district and state averages. Additionally, Gallup Hill School's rankings for specific student groups, such as female students, male students, and White students, are in the bottom half of Connecticut elementary schools, indicating below-average performance for these subgroups.

However, the school's performance for special education and low socioeconomic status students is more favorable, with the school ranking in the top half of Connecticut elementary schools for these subgroups. When compared to nearby schools, such as Mohegan School, Preston Veterans' Memorial School, and Charles Barnum Magnet School, Gallup Hill School generally performs below average, with lower test scores and rankings. The school's SchoolDigger rating has also decreased from 3 stars in 2014-2015 and 2012-2013 to 2 stars in recent years, suggesting that the school's overall performance has declined compared to other Connecticut elementary schools.

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.
