LaBelle Aire Elementary School

Summary:

LaBelle Aire Elementary School is a public elementary school in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, serving 527 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the East Baton Rouge Parish school district, which is ranked 77 out of 122 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

LaBelle Aire Elementary faces significant challenges compared to its surrounding schools. The school has a predominantly African American (57.69%) and Hispanic (38.9%) student population, which is significantly higher than the racial diversity of nearby schools like Broadmoor Elementary and Wedgewood Elementary. Academically, LaBelle Aire consistently ranks in the bottom quartile of Louisiana elementary schools, with performance on LEAP tests well below the East Baton Rouge Parish and state averages. The school's rankings for specific student subgroups, such as Hispanic and English Language Learners, are particularly low, often in the bottom 20-30% of Louisiana elementary schools.

LaBelle Aire's challenges extend beyond academics, with 80.65% of its students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage. The school also has a relatively high student-teacher ratio of 20.7, compared to surrounding schools that range from 16.4 to 22.1. These factors, combined with the school's persistent low performance over the past 10 years, suggest that LaBelle Aire may be facing unique systemic issues that require targeted interventions and support to address the needs of its predominantly African American, Hispanic, and economically disadvantaged 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.
