New Haven Academy

Summary:

New Haven Academy is a public high school serving 336 students in grades 9-12 in New Haven, Connecticut, which is part of the New Haven School District. The school faces several challenges, including a student population that is predominantly African American and Hispanic, consistently low academic performance, and a high percentage of students from low-income families.

Compared to nearby schools like Engineering - Science University Magnet School and Sound School, New Haven Academy has a significantly higher percentage of African American (50.3%) and Hispanic (32.74%) students. Academically, the school consistently ranks in the bottom half of Connecticut high schools, with particularly concerning performance for students with special needs and those from low-income families.

Despite spending around $16,500 per student, which is comparable to nearby schools, New Haven Academy's academic performance lags behind. The school also has a relatively high student-teacher ratio of 15.2, which may be a contributing factor. Addressing these challenges will likely require a comprehensive, long-term approach, including targeted interventions, resource allocation, and collaboration with higher-performing schools within the New Haven School District.

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.
