Community School for Apprenticeship Learning Inc.

The Community School for Apprenticeship Learning Inc. district in Louisiana has only one school, Madison Preparatory Academy, a public charter high school serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 581 students.

Madison Preparatory Academy has a predominantly African American student population (98.28%), with small percentages of White, Hispanic, and multiracial students. The school's academic performance is mixed, with strong proficiency rates in English I and II but lower rates in subjects like Geometry, U.S. History, and Biology compared to statewide averages. However, the school has seen an improvement in its statewide ranking, moving from 200 out of 326 high schools in 2021-2022 to 124 out of 333 in 2023-2024, with a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Notably, Madison Preparatory Academy serves a population with significant economic challenges, with 74.53% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. The school's relatively low student-teacher ratio of 16:1 suggests a potentially favorable learning environment, but the high percentage of economically disadvantaged students may present unique challenges that the school and district need to address to ensure the success of all students.
