Pierre A. Capdau S.T.E.A.M School

Summary:

Pierre A. Capdau S.T.E.A.M School is a public charter elementary school serving grades PK-8 in New Orleans, Louisiana, with a student population of 421 and is part of the Orleans Parish school district, which is ranked 107 out of 122 districts in Louisiana and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

The school has a significantly higher percentage of African American students (89.07%) compared to nearby charter schools like Esperanza Charter School (37.54%) and Bricolage Academy (92.09%). However, Pierre A. Capdau S.T.E.A.M School consistently underperforms the state average in both Mathematics and English Language Arts proficiency across all grade levels, ranking in the bottom quartile of Louisiana elementary schools over the past 5 years. The school's performance on key subgroups, such as female students, male students, African American students, and low socioeconomic status students, is also in the bottom quartile of Louisiana elementary schools.

Interestingly, the nearby charter schools generally outperform Pierre A. Capdau S.T.E.A.M School in terms of test scores, statewide rankings, and student subgroup performance. These schools also have lower percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting a potential correlation between socioeconomic status and academic performance. The school's declining performance over the past 5 years, along with its high percentage of students from low-income backgrounds and significant racial imbalance in the student population, may be contributing factors to its academic challenges, which the school and district will need to address to improve student outcomes.

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.
