Summary:
The New Orleans Charter Science and Mathematics High School is the only school in this data set, serving grades 9-12 in New Orleans, Louisiana. The school has a total enrollment of 579 students, with a predominantly African American (71.16%) student population. While the school faces significant socioeconomic challenges, with 85.32% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, its academic performance on state-wide assessments is consistently below the Louisiana state average across multiple subjects.
The school's lowest proficiency rate is in Algebra I at 36%, which is significantly below the state average of 62%. Other subject areas, such as Geometry, English II, U.S. History, English I, and Biology, also show proficiency rates that lag behind the state averages. The school's highest proficiency rate is in English II at 60%, but this is still below the state average of 66%. With a student-teacher ratio of 14.4, the school may need to focus on providing additional academic support and resources to help its students achieve proficiency levels comparable to the state.
The data suggests that the New Orleans Charter Science and Mathematics High School faces significant challenges in supporting its predominantly economically disadvantaged student population. Addressing the identified areas of academic underperformance, particularly in core subjects like Algebra and Geometry, could be a priority for the school's leadership and stakeholders to improve the educational outcomes for its students.
