Summary:

With a total enrollment of 1,194 students, the school has a predominantly African American (64.82%) student population, along with significant Hispanic (20.69%) and White (8.71%) representation. However, the school has consistently underperformed, ranking in the bottom 5-10% of Louisiana elementary schools over the past three years.

Athlos Academy's proficiency rates on the LEAP assessments for Mathematics and English Language Arts are significantly below the statewide averages across all grade levels.

Additionally, the school has a very high percentage of students (80.9%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

Given the school's persistent underperformance, low rankings, and the challenges faced by its economically disadvantaged student population, there may be a need for targeted interventions and additional support to help improve student outcomes at Athlos Academy of Jefferson Parish. Addressing the underlying factors contributing to this underperformance could be crucial in ensuring that the school better serves its students and the Athlos Academy of Jefferson Parish community.
