Summary:
The SE Neighborhood School of Excellence, the only elementary school in the SE Neighborhood School of Excellence district, is a public charter school serving grades K-8 with a total enrollment of 573 students. The school faces significant challenges, including consistently low academic performance, high chronic absenteeism, and a student population that is predominantly economically disadvantaged.
The school's ILEARN test scores are alarmingly low across all grade levels and subject areas, with proficiency rates well below the state averages. For example, only 4.48% of 3rd graders scored proficient or better in ELA, compared to the state average of 38.6%. This suggests that students at SE Neighborhood School of Excellence are struggling to meet academic standards and may require substantial interventions and support to improve their learning outcomes. Additionally, the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 34.1% is extremely high, indicating that a large proportion of students are missing a significant amount of instructional time, which could be a contributing factor to the poor academic performance.
Despite the challenges, the SE Neighborhood School of Excellence serves a diverse student population, with 45.55% White, 17.45% African American, 27.75% Hispanic, and 9.08% two or more races. However, 93.19% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting that the school's student body faces significant socioeconomic challenges. To address these issues, the school may need to provide additional resources and support, such as targeted academic interventions, social-emotional learning programs, and family engagement initiatives, to help improve the overall learning environment and student outcomes.
