New Vision Learning Academy

New Vision Learning Academy is the sole elementary public charter school serving grades PK-6 in Monroe, Louisiana, with a total enrollment of 223 students. The school has a predominantly African American student population and faces academic performance challenges, with proficiency rates below the state averages in Mathematics, English Language Arts, and Social Studies.

Academically, New Vision Learning Academy struggles to keep pace with other schools in Louisiana. In the 2023-2024 school year, only 45% of students were proficient or better in LEAP Mathematics, compared to the state average of 59%. Similarly, the school's 56% proficiency rate in LEAP English Language Arts was lower than the state's 69% average. The school's performance in Social Studies was particularly concerning, with only 18% of students achieving proficiency, well below the state's 49% average.

Socioeconomic factors also play a role, as 50.22% of students at New Vision Learning Academy receive free or reduced-price lunch. This high percentage of economically disadvantaged students may contribute to the academic challenges the school faces. Additionally, the school's statewide ranking has declined over the past three years, from 553 out of 727 Louisiana elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 462 out of 675 in 2023-2024, suggesting the need for strategic improvements to address these issues and better serve the students of New Vision Learning Academy.
