John James Audubon School

Summary:

John James Audubon School is a public elementary and middle school in Kenner, Louisiana, serving 648 students in grades PK-8 and part of the Jefferson Parish school district.

The school stands out for its high Hispanic student population (62.5%), which is significantly higher than nearby schools. While the school generally performs below the district and state averages in Math and English, it excels in a few areas, including 3rd grade Math, 7th and 8th grade English, and high pass rates on Algebra I and English I exams. Notably, the school's African American and English Language Learner students perform relatively well compared to their peers statewide. However, the school faces challenges with a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with 60-83% receiving free or reduced-price lunch over the past three years.

Compared to nearby schools like Green Park Elementary, Harold Keller Elementary, and Tom Benson School, John James Audubon School generally performs below average in Math and English. But the school's strengths in supporting its African American and English Language Learner students suggest opportunities for targeted interventions to improve overall student outcomes and better serve the diverse Kenner community.

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.
