Truman School is a public neighborhood school in New Haven, Connecticut, that teaches kids from pre-kindergarten to eighth grade. There are about 460 to 480 students at the school, and there is one teacher for every 12 students. This means that the classes are probably not too big. Truman puts a lot of emphasis on teacher-led, inclusive instruction and has programs to help students who need extra help or more difficult work. It doesn't look like a magnet or charter school, but it does want to help students from all walks of life learn in different ways. This school has a lot of different kinds of students. About 81% of them are Hispanic, but there are also students who are Black, Asian, White, or of more than one race. Niche says that about 83% of students can get free or reduced-price lunch. This means that most of them come from families with low incomes. Public data shows that only 7–8% of students are good at math and 12% are good at English Language Arts. A report from 2018–19 says that the school spent about $10,175 per student. Truman is in the "Hill" neighborhood of New Haven, which is a community that cares a lot about its public schools and has strong ties to them. The best things about Truman School are that it has a close-knit learning environment and that it has students from many different cultures. However, its academic results show that there are clear problems and opportunities for focused help and growth.
