Academic Recovery Ombudsman

Summary:

Academic Recovery Ombudsman is an alternative public school in Shreveport, Louisiana, serving grades 2-12 with 299 students. The school is part of the Caddo Parish school district, which is ranked 90 out of 122 districts in Louisiana and has a 1-star rating.

Academic Recovery Ombudsman significantly underperforms compared to the Caddo Parish and Louisiana state averages on LEAP and End-of-Course assessments. For example, only 26% of its students were proficient or better in LEAP English Language Arts, compared to 60% in Caddo Parish and 69% statewide. The school also has a predominantly African American student population (83-86%) and a very high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (60-107%). Additionally, the student-teacher ratio at Academic Recovery Ombudsman has been extremely high, ranging from 66.5 to 130 students per teacher.

In contrast, the nearby Magnolia School of Excellence has a more racially diverse student population (82.26% African American) and a lower percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (41.65%). Magnolia School of Excellence also has a lower student-teacher ratio of 62.5. These differences suggest that Academic Recovery Ombudsman serves a more economically disadvantaged and racially homogeneous student population, which may contribute to its consistently poor academic performance and the need for targeted interventions to improve educational outcomes for its students.

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.
