Wilson Charter School

Summary:

Wilson Charter School is a public charter elementary school serving 712 students in grades PK-8 in New Orleans, Louisiana, located in the Noble Minds district, which is ranked 80 out of 122 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating.

While Wilson Charter School serves a predominantly African American (65.87%) and Hispanic (32.58%) student population, its academic performance, as measured by LEAP test scores, is generally lower than the state averages across all grades and subjects. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, the school's proficiency rates in Mathematics (48%) and English Language Arts (57%) were significantly below the state averages of 59% and 69%, respectively. The school's performance also varies significantly across different student subgroups, with relatively better results for Hispanic students and English Language Learners, but struggles with African American, Special Education, and Low Socioeconomic Status students. As a result, Wilson Charter School has consistently ranked in the bottom quartile of Louisiana elementary schools, with a ranking of 488 out of 675 schools in the 2023-2024 school year and a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

The challenges faced by Wilson Charter School are not unique, as research has shown that socioeconomic status is a significant predictor of student achievement. With 74.02% of its students coming from low-income families, the school's academic struggles are likely exacerbated by these socioeconomic factors. However, nearby charter schools, such as Audubon Charter School and International School of Louisiana, have significantly higher academic achievement and rankings, suggesting that there may be opportunities for Wilson Charter School to learn from their strategies and best practices to better support their predominantly African American and Hispanic student population.

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.
