Arlington Preparatory Academy

Summary:

Arlington Preparatory Academy is a public high school in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, serving grades 6-12 with a total enrollment of 100 students. The school is part of the East Baton Rouge Parish school district, which is ranked 77 out of 122 districts in Louisiana and is rated 2 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

Arlington Preparatory Academy has a significantly higher percentage of African American students (82-85%) compared to the surrounding schools, which range from 27% to 97% African American. The school consistently performs below the East Baton Rouge Parish and Louisiana state averages on standardized tests, with proficiency rates ranging from 10% to 25% across various subjects and grade levels. This is significantly lower than the high-performing Baton Rouge Magnet High School, which has proficiency rates above 90% in many subjects. Additionally, Arlington Preparatory Academy has a high percentage of students (59-65%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a higher proportion of students from low-income families compared to the surrounding schools.

The data reveals a significant gap in academic performance between Arlington Preparatory Academy and the higher-performing schools in the area, such as Baton Rouge Magnet High School. This suggests that students at Arlington Preparatory Academy may be facing significant challenges that are impacting their educational outcomes. The high percentage of African American and low-income students at the school, coupled with its low academic performance, points to potential issues of equity and access to quality education for these student populations. Addressing these challenges will require a comprehensive approach that considers the school's unique student demographics and the underlying factors contributing to its low performance.

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.
