Strehle Community School

Summary:

Strehle Community School is a public high school located in Avondale, Louisiana, serving grades 8-12 with a total enrollment of 231 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.

Strehle Community School consistently ranks among the lowest-performing high schools in Louisiana, ranking 331 out of 333 schools in the 2023-2024 school year. The school's academic performance is significantly below the state and district averages across various subject areas, with only 8% of Strehle students proficient or better in Geometry, compared to 52% in the district and 58% statewide. Strehle's performance is particularly low for African American students, who rank 247 out of 256 high schools in the state. The school has a higher percentage of African American students (66.67%) and economically disadvantaged students (70.13%) compared to the surrounding schools, which have more diverse student populations.

The stark contrast in academic performance between Strehle Community School and nearby Haynes Academy School for Advanced Studies, which consistently ranks among the top high schools in Louisiana, highlights the significant educational disparities within the same school district. The high percentage of economically disadvantaged students at Strehle Community School suggests that socioeconomic factors may be contributing to the school's poor academic outcomes, which aligns with research on the correlation between socioeconomic status and educational performance. However, the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio of 12.1 could present an opportunity for more personalized and targeted interventions to address the academic needs of the students.

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.
