The New Haven School

Summary:

The New Haven School is a K-8 elementary school in New Haven, Kentucky, serving a student population of over 400. The school is part of the Nelson County School District, which is ranked 148 out of 159 districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger. Unfortunately, The New Haven School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Kentucky elementary schools over the past decade, with a current ranking of 656 out of 685 schools for the 2023-2024 school year.

The New Haven School significantly underperforms compared to the state and its local district on standardized test scores across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2023-2024, only 12% of 3rd graders were proficient or better in mathematics, compared to 35% in the Nelson County district and 43% statewide. The school also serves a higher proportion of economically disadvantaged students, with 60.29% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in 2022-2023, compared to 43.77% at the nearby Foster Heights Elementary School and 32.45% at Lincoln Trail Elementary School.

Despite spending $13,368 per student, which is higher than the state average, The New Haven School's performance lags significantly behind many of the nearby schools, even within the same district. For instance, Foster Heights Elementary and Boston School, which are also in the Nelson County district, outperform The New Haven School on most academic measures. The school's challenges may be more related to factors such as instructional quality, school leadership, or the ability to effectively support its high-needs 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.
