What stands out at Jumoke Academy
Jumoke Academy is a high-poverty, mid-sized charter combined-grade school in Hartford, Connecticut, enrolling 571 students.
Class loads run heavy: 28.6:1 is larger than about 99% of Connecticut schools and 136% above the 12.1:1 state mean, so each teacher carries more students than is typical.
Economic need is high: 97.0% of students qualify for free meals, 166% above the Connecticut average, a Title I-weighted population that federal funding formulas prioritise.
Enrollment of 571 puts it in the larger third of Connecticut schools by headcount.
Its Resource Investment Index trails 100% of the 1,003 Connecticut schools with a score on record, one of the lower results on this measure.
Among 22 similarly sized, similarly resourced-need Connecticut schools statewide, it ranks #22, in the lower tier once campus size and economic need are matched.
Its student body is predominantly African American (93% of enrollment), among the less diverse in the state (diversity index 14/100).
Chronic absenteeism is elevated: 37.8% of students missed 10% or more of school days (2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection).
The surrounding Jumoke Academy District spends $13,409 per pupil, 44% below the Connecticut average, a leaner-resourced district than most.
The federal civil-rights collection also records 4 expulsions at this campus for 2021-22.
Among Hartford's public schools, it stands alongside Hartford Magnet Trinity College Academy (925 students): Jumoke Academy is smaller than that campus by headcount and runs heavier classes (28.6:1 vs 11.3:1).
Jumoke Academy District is a single-school charter district, so Jumoke Academy operates independently rather than alongside district-mates.
