Maple Hill School

Summary:

Maple Hill School is an elementary school in Naugatuck, Connecticut, serving students from kindergarten to 4th grade as part of the Naugatuck School District. With a diverse student population and lower test scores compared to state and district averages, Maple Hill School faces unique challenges in providing a quality education.

Maple Hill School stands out for its racial diversity, with a higher percentage of Hispanic and African American students compared to nearby schools. However, the school's academic performance, as measured by SBAC assessments, is generally lower than state and district averages. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, the school's 3rd-grade English Language Arts proficiency rate was 35.1%, compared to the state average of 45.9% and the district average of 34.4%. Additionally, the school has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, at 47.9%, indicating a higher proportion of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds.

Despite these challenges, Maple Hill School's Hispanic students and special education students perform relatively well compared to their peers in the state. When compared to other schools in the Naugatuck School District, Maple Hill School generally outperforms the nearby Andrew Avenue School and Salem School. However, the school still lags behind the higher-performing schools in the neighboring Regional School District 16, such as Laurel Ledge School and Prospect Elementary School.

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.
