Summary:

Northeast Academy Magnet School is an elementary school located in Mystic, Connecticut, serving 391 students in grades K-5. As part of the Groton School District, which is ranked 102 out of 158 districts in the state, Northeast Academy Magnet School consistently outperforms its district and the state of Connecticut in academic achievement.

The school's strong performance is particularly noteworthy in serving its low socioeconomic status (SES) and special education students, ranking 6th out of 70 Connecticut elementary schools and 46th out of 371, respectively, in these categories. Northeast Academy Magnet School has a 4-star rating and has consistently ranked in the top third of Connecticut elementary schools, outperforming nearby schools like Winthrop STEM Elementary Magnet School, Regional Multicultural Magnet School, and C.B. Jennings International Elementary Magnet, which are part of the lower-performing New London School District.

However, Northeast Academy Magnet School has a less diverse student population compared to many of the nearby schools, with a higher percentage of White students and lower percentages of minority students. Additionally, the school has a relatively low percentage of free and reduced lunch recipients, ranging from 26.85% to 33.74% over the past few years, which is lower than many of the nearby schools. The school's higher spending per student, between $15,065 and $15,507, may contribute to its strong academic performance and the resources available to its students.

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.
