Garyville/Mt. Airy Math & Science Magnet School

Summary:

Garyville/Mt. Airy Math & Science Magnet School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-8 in Garyville, Louisiana, with a student population of 324 that is predominantly African American. However, the school has consistently underperformed compared to the St. John the Baptist Parish and Louisiana state averages on standardized assessments, ranking in the bottom half of Louisiana elementary schools.

The school's academic performance is particularly concerning for certain student subgroups, such as African American, male, and low-income students, who lag behind their peers at the school and across the state. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, the school's African American students ranked 327 out of 509 Louisiana elementary schools in Mathematics, while its male students ranked 457 out of 651 and its low socioeconomic status students ranked 508 out of 674. When compared to nearby higher-performing schools, such as Ethel Schoeffner Elementary and Norco Elementary in the St. Charles Parish, the contrast in academic achievement is stark, with those schools consistently outperforming Garyville/Mt. Airy Math & Science Magnet School.

To address these challenges, the school and district may need to implement targeted interventions and support programs to improve student learning outcomes, particularly for underperforming subgroups. Additionally, exploring best practices from higher-performing schools, both within and outside the district, could provide valuable insights and strategies for improvement. Overall, the data suggests that Garyville/Mt. Airy Math & Science Magnet School has significant room for improvement in order to provide its students with a high-quality education and prepare them for future success.

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.
