Summary:
The Lake Charles Charter Academy Foundation Inc. district in Louisiana consists of a single elementary school, Lake Charles Charter Academy, which serves grades PK-8 with a total enrollment of 989 students. The school has a predominantly African American student population (84.23%) and a high percentage of students (81.8%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a socioeconomically disadvantaged student body.
While Lake Charles Charter Academy excels in certain end-of-course exams, such as Algebra I and English I, its overall LEAP test scores in math and English language arts are below the state averages, particularly in the lower grade levels. This suggests potential areas for improvement in the school's curriculum and instructional practices. Additionally, the school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Louisiana elementary schools over the past 3 years, receiving a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Despite the school's lower-than-average rankings and test scores, the data indicates that Lake Charles Charter Academy has the potential to improve its overall academic outcomes. By identifying and replicating the strategies that led to stronger results in Algebra I and English I end-of-course exams, the school may be able to address the inconsistencies in its academic performance and better support its predominantly economically disadvantaged student population.
