Magnolia School of Excellence

Summary:

Magnolia School of Excellence is a public charter school in Shreveport, Louisiana, serving 1,330 students in grades K-12. The school has a diverse student population, with a racial makeup of 82.26% African American, 8.2% White, 6.02% Hispanic, and smaller percentages of other races.

Despite its diverse student body, Magnolia School of Excellence consistently underperforms compared to the Caddo Parish and Louisiana state averages on LEAP assessments. In the 2023-2024 school year, the school's proficiency rates in Mathematics ranged from 17% to 27%, while the Caddo Parish and Louisiana state averages were significantly higher, ranging from 39% to 65%. Similarly, in English Language Arts, Magnolia's proficiency rates were 35% to 45%, compared to 57% to 71% for Caddo Parish and 66% to 71% for Louisiana. Additionally, the school has a relatively high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 41.65% to 65.12% over the past three school years.

When compared to nearby schools, such as Academic Recovery Ombudsman (within the same district) and Doyline High School (in a different district), Magnolia School of Excellence generally underperforms in academic assessments. For instance, Doyline High School's proficiency rates in Mathematics and English Language Arts are significantly higher than Magnolia's, often exceeding the Caddo Parish and Louisiana state averages. These factors, combined with the school's fluctuating student-teacher ratio, may be contributing to the challenges in providing a high-quality education to its diverse 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.
