Summary:
The Promise Prep district in Indiana is home to a single elementary school, PLA@Promise Prep, which serves grades K-3 with a total enrollment of 69 students. The school's student population is predominantly Hispanic (63.77%) and African American (34.78%), and a significant majority (57.97%) receive free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage.
PLA@Promise Prep's academic performance is a significant concern, with only 7.14% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and 14.29% proficient or better in Math across all grades. This is substantially lower than the state averages of 38.6% and 52.4% for 3rd grade ELA and Math, respectively. The school also faces challenges with high chronic absenteeism, at 27.8%, which is likely contributing to the low academic outcomes.
Despite the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio of 8.6 and higher-than-average per-student spending of $25,109, these resources do not appear to be translating into improved academic performance. The school's underperformance compared to the state and the overall Promise Prep district, which is ranked 379 out of 381 districts in Indiana, suggests the need for a comprehensive review of the school's strategies and resource allocation to better support student success.
