J. K. Haynes Teacher Prep and Leadership Academy

Summary:

J. K. Haynes Teacher Prep and Leadership Academy is an elementary school serving grades PK-6 in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, with a student population of around 400 students, predominantly African American. 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.

Academically, J. K. Haynes struggles compared to the district and state averages. The school ranks 580 out of 675 Louisiana elementary schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. This is significantly lower than the nearby Forest Heights Academy of Excellence, which ranks 13th in the state. J. K. Haynes has very low mathematics proficiency rates, with only 25% of students scoring proficient or better, compared to 48% in the district and 59% statewide. While the school performs better in English Language Arts (ELA), with 48% of students scoring proficient or better, this is still lower than the district (63%) and state (69%) averages. The school also struggles to support its subgroups, particularly male students and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, who rank in the bottom 10% of Louisiana elementary schools.

Interestingly, the nearby Inspire Charter Academy outperforms J. K. Haynes in both mathematics and ELA proficiency, despite serving a student population that is even more economically disadvantaged. Additionally, the high-performing Forest Heights Academy of Excellence, located just a few miles away, highlights the stark contrast in academic achievement between J. K. Haynes and a nearby school serving a similar student population. These comparisons, along with the school's high rates of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, indicate significant socioeconomic challenges in the community that may contribute to the academic struggles observed across these schools.

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.
