Ryan Elementary School

Summary:

Ryan Elementary School is a public elementary school in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, serving 226 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.

Ryan Elementary School stands out for its significantly higher percentage of African American students (99.12%) compared to surrounding schools. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Louisiana elementary schools, maintaining a 1-2 star rating from SchoolDigger. Its test scores in Mathematics and English Language Arts (ELA) are generally lower than the district and state averages. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, the school's proficiency rates were 48% in Mathematics and 57% in ELA, compared to the district's 48% and 63%, and the state's 59% and 69%, respectively. The school's performance also varies across different student subgroups, with African American students ranking higher than other subgroups, but still lagging behind the district and state averages.

When compared to nearby schools, Ryan Elementary School generally performs worse on test scores and school rankings, with the exception of Claiborne Elementary School, which has even lower performance metrics. The high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (over 95%) suggests the school faces significant socioeconomic challenges, which may be contributing factors to its underperformance. Addressing these issues through targeted interventions and support could be crucial in improving educational outcomes for the students at Ryan Elementary School.

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.
