What stands out about New Haven Community Schools

  • Enrolment grew 14.4% here, from 1,239 students in FY2019 to 1,418 in FY2023, against a national picture where far more districts shrank than grew over the same period. Growth of this kind typically arrives before the funding that follows it, so per-pupil figures often dip while a district absorbs it.
