John Ehret High School

Summary:

John Ehret High School is a public high school serving grades 9-12 in Marrero, Louisiana, which is part of the Jefferson Parish school district. The school has a diverse student population, but consistently underperforms academically compared to state and district averages.

John Ehret High School ranks in the bottom half of Louisiana high schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's test scores are significantly below state averages across all subject areas and grade levels, with proficiency rates ranging from 32% to 50% compared to state averages of 57% to 66%. The school's performance on various student subgroups, including female, male, Asian, African American, Hispanic, and white students, is also concerning, with the school ranking in the bottom half or bottom quarter of Louisiana high schools for most subgroups. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 57% to 79%, suggesting a high proportion of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds.

When comparing John Ehret High School to nearby schools, such as Thomas Jefferson High School for Advanced Studies, it becomes evident that the school is significantly underperforming. Thomas Jefferson High School, which is within the same district, consistently ranks among the top high schools in Louisiana and outperforms John Ehret High School across all academic metrics. This suggests that John Ehret High School may be facing systemic challenges that need to be addressed, particularly in terms of equity and access to resources for its diverse student population.

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.
