Bonnabel Magnet Academy High School

Summary:

Bonnabel Magnet Academy High School is a public high school located in Kenner, Louisiana, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 1,478 students. The school is part of the Jefferson Parish school district, which is ranked 72 out of 122 districts in Louisiana and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Bonnabel Magnet Academy High School faces significant academic challenges, as evidenced by its consistently low statewide ranking and subpar performance on state assessments compared to both the district and state averages. The school has a significantly higher Hispanic student population (60.42%) compared to the surrounding schools, and a high percentage of students (51.96% in 2022-2023) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a higher proportion of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds. This unique demographic composition and high percentage of economically disadvantaged students may contribute to the school's struggles, as it consistently ranks in the bottom quarter of Louisiana high schools with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past several years.

In comparison, nearby schools such as Patrick F. Taylor Science & Technology Academy and Haynes Academy School for Advanced Studies consistently outperform Bonnabel Magnet Academy High School on state assessments and have higher statewide rankings, suggesting that the academic environment and resources available at these schools may be more conducive to student success.

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.

Open Quote This school and administration is a DISGRACE. I hear horror stories from reliable sources on almost a daily basis. Students allowed to disrespect and abuse teachers and other students with very little or no consequences. Teachers get blamed for the students uncivilized, disgusting behavior and lack of interest in their studies. Violence among students occurs regularly. It’s no wonder teachers are leaving in record numbers.
This administration needs investigating asap.
If I could rate zero stars, I would. Close Quote

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.
