Carver Elementary School

Summary:

Carver Elementary School is a public elementary school in Monroe, Louisiana, serving 369 students in grades PK-6. The school is part of the City of Monroe School District, which is ranked 87 out of 122 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Carver Elementary School stands out for its significantly higher percentage of African American students (97.56%) compared to nearby schools, which range from 78.57% to 98.67% African American. Academically, the school's performance on LEAP tests is generally lower than the district and state averages across all grades and subjects. For example, in 2023-2024, Carver's proficiency rates in Mathematics (30%) and English Language Arts (52%) were well below the district (48% and 57%) and state (59% and 69%) averages. The school's performance for specific student subgroups, such as African American students, students with disabilities, and economically disadvantaged students, is also lower compared to the district and state. Carver Elementary has a very high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 82.29% to 89.43% over the past three years, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

When comparing Carver Elementary to other nearby schools, such as J.S. Clark Magnet Elementary School, it becomes clear that Carver's academic performance is generally lower across all grades and subjects. The detailed data suggests that socioeconomic factors may play a significant role in the school's challenges, and there may be specific barriers that need to be addressed to improve outcomes for the predominantly African American student population. By focusing on targeted interventions and support for underperforming student subgroups, as well as examining the school's instructional practices and resource allocation, Carver Elementary may be able to make meaningful improvements in academic achievement.

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.
