Summary:
The data provided focuses on a single elementary school, Pierre A. Capdau S.T.E.A.M. School, located in New Orleans, Louisiana. This school serves a predominantly African American student population, with 89% of students identifying as such. However, the school's academic performance is significantly below the state averages in both mathematics and English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency, with proficiency rates ranging from 31% to 54% across different grade levels.
Pierre A. Capdau S.T.E.A.M. School has consistently ranked among the lowest-performing elementary schools in Louisiana, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger for the 2023-2024 school year. This low performance has persisted over the past three school years, with the school's ranking falling between 673 and 698 out of 727-730 Louisiana elementary schools. The school's high percentage of students (84%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch suggests that the student population faces significant economic challenges, which may contribute to the school's academic struggles.
Despite the school's challenges, the data highlights several areas where the school could focus its efforts to improve, such as targeted interventions in mathematics, particularly in the upper elementary grades, and strategies to support student learning and achievement in ELA. Addressing the socioeconomic factors that may be impacting student performance could also be a key priority for the Pierre A. Capdau S.T.E.A.M. School and the surrounding community.
