Lincoln-Bassett School

Summary:

Lincoln-Bassett School is an elementary school serving grades PK-6 in the New Haven School District, with a student population of 237 as of the 2022-2023 school year. The school faces significant challenges, with consistently low academic performance, high poverty rates, and underperformance of specific student subgroups.

Despite spending a relatively high amount per student, ranging from $16,566 to $17,053 per year, Lincoln-Bassett School consistently ranks among the lowest-performing elementary schools in Connecticut, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics significantly below the state and district averages. The school's African American and special education students perform particularly poorly compared to their peers statewide, ranking among the bottom 10% of schools in Connecticut for these subgroups. This highlights the persistent racial achievement gaps in the district and the need for targeted interventions to address these disparities.

While the nearby schools in the New Haven School District also struggle with low academic performance, some schools, such as Worthington Hooker School, demonstrate significantly higher proficiency rates and statewide rankings. Understanding the factors that contribute to the success of these higher-performing schools could provide valuable insights for improving Lincoln-Bassett School and addressing the root causes of its persistent challenges.

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.
