While Alice Birney Elementary School's academic performance on LEAP tests is mixed compared to the Jefferson Parish and Louisiana state averages, the school faces some challenges. In Mathematics and English Language Arts, the school's proficiency rates are generally lower than the district and state, except for a few grade levels. Additionally, the school has a relatively high percentage of students (54.55%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a higher proportion of economically disadvantaged students. The school's student-teacher ratio of 17.6 is slightly higher than the recommended ratio, which could impact the level of individual attention and support available to students.
Overall, the analysis suggests that Alice Birney Elementary School may need to focus on improving its instructional practices and support systems to help students achieve better academic outcomes, particularly in Mathematics and English Language Arts. Addressing the socioeconomic factors and student-teacher ratio could also be areas for improvement to enhance the learning environment and meet the unique needs of the diverse student population.
