Athlos Academy of Jefferson Parish

Summary:

Athlos Academy of Jefferson Parish is a public charter elementary school serving grades K-8 in Terrytown, Louisiana, with a student population of 1,194. The school is part of the Jefferson Parish district, which is ranked 116 out of 122 districts in Louisiana and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Athlos Academy has a significantly higher percentage of African American (64.82%) and Hispanic (20.69%) students compared to the surrounding schools, which tend to have a more racially diverse student population. The school consistently ranks in the bottom quartile of Louisiana elementary schools, with a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger. Athlos Academy's proficiency rates in LEAP Mathematics and English Language Arts are well below the state averages across all grade levels, and its student subgroups, such as African American, Hispanic, and English Language Learner students, also perform poorly compared to their peers statewide. Additionally, Athlos Academy has a very high percentage of students (80.9% in 2022-2023) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

In contrast, the nearby schools, such as Belle Chasse Primary, Belle Chasse Elementary, and Geraldine Boudreaux Elementary, generally perform much better academically than Athlos Academy, with higher proficiency rates and better statewide rankings. This suggests that the challenges faced by Athlos Academy are not necessarily shared by all schools in the surrounding area, and the high percentage of economically disadvantaged students and the racial/ethnic composition of the student body may be contributing factors to the school's poor academic performance.

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.
