Promise Prep

Promise Prep is home to a single elementary public charter school, PLA@Promise Prep, which serves grades K-3 and has a total enrollment of 69 students. The school's student population is predominantly Hispanic (63.77%) and African American (34.78%), and a significant portion (57.97%) qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage.

Academically, PLA@Promise Prep is struggling, with only 7.14% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and 14.29% proficient in Math, far below the state averages of 38.6% and 52.4% for 3rd grade, respectively. The school also has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 27.8%, significantly higher than the state average. Despite the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio of 8.6 to 1 and higher spending per student of $25,109, these factors have not translated into better academic performance.

Overall, the data suggests that Promise Prep is facing significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to its students. The school's underperformance compared to state averages, high chronic absenteeism, and socioeconomic challenges indicate that a more comprehensive approach may be needed to address the root causes of the school's struggles and improve educational outcomes for its students.
