Northdale Superintendent's Academy

Summary:

Northdale Superintendent's Academy is an alternative public school in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, serving 183 students in grades K-12. The school is part of the East Baton Rouge Parish school district, which is ranked 73 out of 114 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. The student population at Northdale is predominantly African American, ranging from 95-97% over the past three school years.

Northdale Superintendent's Academy consistently underperforms compared to the district and state averages on standardized tests. For example, in the 2022-2023 school year, the school's proficiency rates were significantly lower than the district and state in End-of-Course (EOC) exams for Algebra I, Geometry, U.S. History, and English I. Similar trends were observed in LEAP assessments for 8th-grade Mathematics and English Language Arts. Additionally, Northdale has an exceptionally high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 66.33% to 95.63%, which is much higher than the state average. Despite a relatively low student-teacher ratio, the academic performance at Northdale remains a concern.

When comparing Northdale Superintendent's Academy to nearby schools, the disparities in academic performance become even more evident. For instance, IDEA Innovation, a public charter school within the same district, outperformed Northdale across various subject areas and grade levels, with proficiency rates often double or triple those of Northdale. Furthermore, schools like LSU Laboratory School have a much lower percentage of economically disadvantaged students, suggesting that Northdale serves a community facing significant economic challenges.

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.
