Summary:
New Vision Learning Academy is the sole elementary school located in Monroe, Louisiana, serving grades PK-6 with a total enrollment of 223 students. This public charter school has a predominantly African American student population, with 99.55% of students identifying as such, and a high proportion of students from low-income families, with 50.22% eligible for free or reduced-price lunch.
Despite serving a high-need community, New Vision Learning Academy has consistently underperformed, ranking in the bottom half of Louisiana elementary schools over the past three years. The school's proficiency rates in Mathematics and English Language Arts (ELA) are significantly below the state averages, with only 45% of students proficient in Mathematics compared to the state's 59%, and 56% proficient in ELA compared to the state's 69%. Particularly concerning are the low proficiency rates in 3rd and 4th grade ELA, where the school's performance is around 46% compared to the state's 66%.
The challenges faced by New Vision Learning Academy suggest the need for targeted interventions and additional resources to address the learning gaps and support the unique needs of its student population. Improving academic outcomes and providing a well-rounded educational experience for all students should be the primary focus for this underperforming school serving a predominantly low-income, African American community.
