Family Academy of Multilingual Exploration

Summary:

Family Academy of Multilingual Exploration is an elementary school serving grades PK-8 in the New Haven School District in Connecticut, with a student population of 452 in a predominantly Hispanic neighborhood. Despite its focus on multilingual education, the school has consistently ranked in the bottom 10% of Connecticut elementary schools over the past several years, with a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Key insights about Family Academy include its extremely high percentage of Hispanic students (92-95%), significantly lower academic performance compared to the district and state across all grade levels and subject areas (e.g., only 11.8% of 4th graders were proficient in ELA vs. 18.2% for the district and 49.4% for the state), and persistently low performance of student subgroups. The school also has an exceptionally high rate of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch (72-81%), suggesting significant socioeconomic challenges. In contrast, nearby magnet schools like Celentano BioTech Health and Medical Magnet School and East Rock Community Magnet School generally outperform Family Academy on academic measures, despite serving similar demographic populations.

The persistent low performance and demographic challenges faced by Family Academy suggest that the school may benefit from a comprehensive review of its instructional practices, curriculum, and support services to better address the needs of its student population. Collaboration with the higher-performing nearby schools could also provide valuable insights and strategies for improvement, as the magnet school model appears to be more effective in supporting student achievement in this context.

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.
