The MAX Charter School

Summary:

The MAX Charter School is a public charter elementary and middle school located in Thibodaux, Louisiana, serving 112 students from grades 1 to 8. Despite its small size, the school has struggled to provide a quality education, consistently ranking in the bottom tier of Louisiana elementary schools.

The MAX Charter School's academic performance is significantly below the state average across all grade levels and subject areas. In the 2023-2024 school year, only 8% of 7th-grade students were proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to the state average of 59%. The school's rankings for specific student subgroups, such as male students and students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, are also in the bottom tier of Louisiana elementary schools. This trend has been worsening over the years, with the school's statewide rank dropping from 579 out of 777 Louisiana elementary schools in 2013-2014 to 674 out of 675 in 2023-2024.

When compared to nearby public schools in the Terrebonne Parish and Lafourche Parish school districts, The MAX Charter School's academic performance is significantly lower. For example, Coteau-Bayou Blue Elementary School, which is just 9.65 miles away, had 75% of its students proficient or better in Mathematics across all grades in 2023-2024, compared to only 8% at The MAX Charter School. The high percentage of free/reduced lunch recipients and the low rankings for specific student subgroups at The MAX Charter School suggest that socioeconomic factors and equity issues may be contributing to the school's poor academic performance.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
