Prescott K-8 Academy

Summary:

Prescott K-8 Academy is a public charter school in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, serving students from pre-kindergarten to 8th grade. However, the school's academic performance is significantly lower than the state average, with only 29% of students proficient or better in Mathematics and 47% proficient in English Language Arts, compared to state averages of 59% and 69%, respectively.

Prescott K-8 Academy's performance is particularly concerning for certain student subgroups. For the 2023-2024 school year, the school ranked 635 out of 651 Louisiana elementary schools for male students, with a 0 star rating, and 443 out of 509 Louisiana elementary schools for African American students, with a 1 star rating. Additionally, low socioeconomic status students at Prescott K-8 Academy ranked 598 out of 674 Louisiana elementary schools, with a 1 star rating. This places the school in the bottom 10% of elementary schools in the state, indicating significant room for improvement.

Interestingly, the nearby public schools, such as Capitol Elementary School and Merrydale Elementary School, also have relatively low academic performance, with proficiency rates below the state average. However, the charter schools in the area, such as CSAL Elementary and Inspire Charter Academy, have significantly higher academic performance, with proficiency rates exceeding the state and district averages. This suggests that there is potential for Prescott K-8 Academy to improve its academic outcomes by learning from the successful practices of the charter schools and addressing the unique needs of its 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.

Data source: National Center for Education Statistics, U.S. Dept of Education.

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.
