About Booker T Washington Academy

Booker T. Washington Academy is a public charter school in New Haven, Connecticut, for students in kindergarten through eighth grade. It has about 380 to 390 students and a student-teacher ratio of about 14:1, which means that classes are relatively small. The academy's college-preparatory philosophy is based on the ideas of Booker T. Washington and encourages students to strive for excellence through hard work. A structured learning environment, differentiated instruction, and a variety of enrichment activities that help both academic and social-emotional growth are all good for students. About 79% of the students are Black, 16% are Hispanic, and the rest are from other racial or ethnic groups. About 89% of students can get free or reduced-price lunch, which shows that most of them have a lot of needs. About 22% of students are good at math and 25% are good at English Language Arts, which is below the state average. This shows that academic performance is not good. There isn't a lot of information about how much money is spent on each student, but as a charter school, the money comes from student enrollment and state funding. The school is in a city neighborhood in New Haven, and it benefits from a lot of family involvement. Booker T. Washington Academy is a mission-driven school with small class sizes, but students who do well in school can get extra help and grow.
