Travis Hill School

Summary:

Travis Hill School is an alternative public school in New Orleans, Louisiana, serving grades 3-12 with a total enrollment of 151 students, the majority of whom are African American.

The school faces significant academic challenges, with only 5% of students proficient or better in Algebra I and 18% proficient or better in English II, compared to state averages of 62% and 66%, respectively. Additionally, Travis Hill School has a very high student-teacher ratio of 77.4 students per teacher and a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 64.58% to 100% over the past three school years. When compared to nearby alternative schools, such as Riverside Alternative High School and Dr. Martin Luther King Charter School for Sci Technical, the academic performance gap at Travis Hill School is even more pronounced.

The racial composition of Travis Hill School is in stark contrast to some of the nearby charter schools, such as Kenner Discovery Health Sciences Academy and Lycee Francais de la Nouvelle-Orleans, which have much more diverse student populations. The challenges faced by Travis Hill School, including the high student-teacher ratio, low academic performance, and high rates of economic disadvantage, suggest that the school may require targeted interventions and support to help its students succeed.

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.
