Beekman Charter School

Summary:

Beekman Charter School is an alternative public charter school in Bastrop, Louisiana, serving 1,020 students in grades PK-12 as part of the Morehouse Parish school district, which is ranked 66th out of 122 districts in the state.

Beekman Charter School stands out for its consistently high academic performance, outpacing both the Morehouse Parish district and the state of Louisiana in standardized test scores across subjects and grade levels. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, Beekman Charter School had 66% proficiency in English Language Arts, compared to 41% for Morehouse Parish and 69% for Louisiana. The school also excels in college readiness, with 70% of students proficient in Algebra I end-of-course exams, far surpassing the 30% proficiency rate in the Morehouse Parish district and the 64% state average.

However, Beekman Charter School's student demographics differ significantly from the surrounding district, with a much higher percentage of white students (76.67%) compared to the majority African American population in Morehouse Parish. Additionally, Beekman has a very low percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 0.31% to 1.86% in the past three years, indicating a higher socioeconomic status of the student body. These disparities raise questions about equity and access to high-quality education for all students in the region. Nearby Morehouse Magnet School, also part of the Morehouse Parish district, demonstrates similar academic excellence, suggesting that successful educational practices within the district could be leveraged to improve outcomes across all schools.

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.
