Amite Elementary Magnet School

Summary:

Amite Elementary Magnet School is a public elementary school serving 433 students in grades PK-4 in Amite, Louisiana, which is part of the Tangipahoa Parish school district. The school faces significant challenges, with a student population that is 79.45% African American and consistently underperforming the district and state averages on standardized tests.

Amite Elementary Magnet School's academic performance is particularly low for certain student subgroups, with its African American students ranking in the bottom 31% of Louisiana elementary schools and its special education students ranking in the top 7%. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom quartile of Louisiana elementary schools, with a ranking between 524-697 out of 675-792 schools over the past 10 years. Additionally, the school has a very high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 74.84% to 87.53% over the past 3 years, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

While some nearby schools, such as Spring Creek Elementary and Chesbrough Elementary, demonstrate stronger academic performance, Amite Elementary Magnet School lags significantly behind. This suggests the need for the school to closely examine the practices and strategies of its higher-performing counterparts and implement more targeted and equitable instructional strategies to address the needs of its predominantly minority and economically disadvantaged student population.

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.
