Sharon Hills Elementary School

Summary:

Sharon Hills Elementary School is a public elementary school in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, serving 252 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.

Despite being located in Baton Rouge, Sharon Hills Elementary School faces significant challenges. The school has a student population that is over 90% African American, which is significantly higher than the surrounding schools and the state average. Academically, Sharon Hills Elementary consistently ranks in the bottom quartile of Louisiana elementary schools, with proficiency rates in Math and English Language Arts that are well below the district and state averages. The school's performance is particularly low for African American students, male students, and students from low-income backgrounds, who make up the majority of the student population.

Interestingly, the nearby schools, such as Inspire Charter Academy, Ryan Elementary School, and Forest Heights Academy of Excellence, generally outperform Sharon Hills Elementary on academic measures, suggesting that the challenges faced by this school may be unique to its specific circumstances. The high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, coupled with the school's low academic performance, indicates that socioeconomic factors may be playing a significant role in the school's 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.
