Jane Ryan School

Summary:

Jane Ryan School is an exemplary elementary school in Trumbull, Connecticut, serving 448 students from kindergarten to 5th grade. As part of the highly-ranked Trumbull School District, Jane Ryan consistently performs among the top schools in the state, with strong academic achievement across core subject areas.

Jane Ryan School's students significantly outperform the state average on standardized tests, with 79.2% of 5th-graders proficient or better in English Language Arts and 76.7% of 3rd-graders proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to the state averages of 51.4% and 51.3%, respectively. The school's performance on the Next Generation Science Standards is also impressive, with 77.4% of 5th-graders proficient or better, well above the state average of 50.8%. Jane Ryan's strong academic performance extends to its diverse student population, with Hispanic students and female students ranking among the top in the state.

While Jane Ryan School has a relatively affluent student population, with only 11-12% receiving free or reduced-price lunch, its academic success is not solely due to funding. The school's low student-teacher ratio and effective teaching and leadership contribute to its exemplary performance, which outshines many nearby schools, including Interdistrict Discovery Magnet School and Park City Magnet School in the Bridgeport School District, which struggle to meet state averages. Jane Ryan School's combination of academic excellence, diverse student population, and strong resources make it a model for elementary education in Connecticut.

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.
