Celentano BioTech Health and Medical Magnet School

Summary:

Celentano BioTech Health and Medical Magnet School is an elementary school serving grades PK-8 in the New Haven School District in Connecticut, with a diverse student population that is predominantly African American and Hispanic.

Despite having a relatively low student-teacher ratio and higher spending per student compared to nearby schools, Celentano BioTech consistently underperforms the district and state averages in academic performance. In the 2023-2024 school year, only 18.9% of 5th-grade students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 22% for the district and 51.4% for the state. The school has a very high percentage of students (over 80%) who qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. This persistent underperformance and racial disparities in educational outcomes suggest that the challenges faced by Celentano BioTech are not unique and may be systemic within the New Haven School District, as evidenced by the struggles of nearby schools like Clinton Avenue School, Barack H. Obama Magnet University School, and Wexler/Grant Community School.

Despite the additional resources allocated to Celentano BioTech, the school's academic performance remains significantly below the district and state averages, raising questions about the effective allocation and utilization of these resources to support student learning. Addressing the persistent underperformance and racial disparities at Celentano BioTech and other schools in the New Haven School District will require a comprehensive, district-wide approach to address the underlying factors contributing to these issues.

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.
