Einstein Charter Middle School at Sarah Towles Reed

Summary:

Einstein Charter Middle School at Sarah Towles Reed is a public charter middle school in New Orleans, Louisiana that serves 227 students in grades 6-8. The school is part of the Jefferson Parish district, which is ranked 105 out of 122 districts in Louisiana and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Einstein Charter Middle School has a significantly higher percentage of minority students compared to nearby public schools, it consistently underperforms the state and district averages in both mathematics and English language arts proficiency on the LEAP assessments. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 30% of students were proficient in mathematics compared to the state average of 59%, and 55% were proficient in English language arts compared to the state average of 69%. The school also struggles to support the academic achievement of its Hispanic and English Language Learner students, who rank in the bottom 10-20% of Louisiana middle schools in terms of proficiency. As a result, Einstein Charter Middle School has consistently ranked in the bottom 20-25% of Louisiana middle schools over the past several years, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

The challenges faced by Einstein Charter Middle School may be exacerbated by its high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 67.84% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2022-2023 school year. Additionally, the school's enrollment has decreased from 227 students in the 2022-2023 school year to 227 students in the 2023-2024 school year, which could be a sign of declining community trust or dissatisfaction with the school's performance. While the nearby public schools in the Jefferson Parish district also struggle academically, they generally outperform Einstein Charter Middle School in both mathematics and English language arts proficiency, suggesting that the challenges faced by Einstein Charter Middle School may be more severe than those of its counterparts.

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.
