Momauguin School

Summary:

Momauguin School is an elementary school in East Haven, Connecticut, serving students from kindergarten to 5th grade. With a declining student population and a high percentage of students from low-income families, the school faces several academic challenges, including lower proficiency rates compared to state and district averages.

Momauguin School's academic performance, as measured by standardized test scores, is generally lower than the state and East Haven School District averages. For example, the school's 3rd grade English Language Arts proficiency rate was 42.6% in 2023-2024, compared to the state average of 45.9% and the district average of 40.2%. Similarly, the school's 5th grade Math proficiency rate was 33.3%, compared to the state average of 43.1% and the district average of 33%. Additionally, the school's performance varies significantly among different student subgroups, with a significant achievement gap between Hispanic and White students.

While Momauguin School faces these challenges, some nearby schools, such as Carbone School/East Haven Academy and John B. Sliney School, have higher academic achievement and better overall rankings. Examining the practices and strategies employed by these higher-performing schools could provide valuable insights for Momauguin School to improve its own performance and address the needs of its diverse student population.

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.
