Louisville Academy School

Summary:

Louisville Academy School is an elementary school serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 350 students in Louisville, Georgia. The school is part of the Jefferson County School District, which is ranked 180 out of 203 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Louisville Academy School consistently underperforms compared to state and county averages on the Georgia Milestones Assessments, with proficiency rates ranging from 20.5% to 31% in English Language Arts and 20.5% to 26.8% in Mathematics, significantly lower than the state averages. The school has a 100% free and reduced lunch rate, indicating that the student population comes from economically disadvantaged backgrounds. While the school's spending per student has increased over the years, it is still lower than the state average. However, the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 10.6 to 11.2, suggests an opportunity for more individualized attention and support.

Interestingly, the two nearby schools in the same district, Wrens Elementary School and Carver Elementary School, also perform poorly on the Milestones Assessments, with proficiency rates generally below the state averages. However, Glascock County Elementary School, which is in a different district, outperforms Louisville Academy School and the other nearby schools on the Milestones Assessments. The consistent low performance of Louisville Academy School over the years suggests a persistent challenge in improving academic outcomes for its students, which may be influenced by the high percentage of economically disadvantaged students and lower spending per student.

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.
