LEAD Academy

Summary:

The LEAD Academy district in Alabama operates two schools - LEAD Academy Building A, an elementary school, and LEAD Academy Building B, a middle school. Both schools are performing significantly below state averages in academic proficiency, with consistently low rankings and 1-star ratings from SchoolDigger.

LEAD Academy Building A's 3rd-grade proficiency rates in Math (30.86%) and English (45.68%) are well below the state averages of 45.47% and 65.34%, respectively. Similarly, LEAD Academy Building B has proficiency rates across all grade levels and subjects that are consistently lower than the state averages, with 8th-grade Math and Science proficiency rates of just 9.26% and 22.22%, compared to the state averages of 24.53% and 41.51%.

Both schools face demographic challenges, with high percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (67.37% at LEAD Academy Building A and 80.42% at LEAD Academy Building B) and a chronic absenteeism rate of 14.8%, which is higher than the state average. Additionally, the stark difference in student-teacher ratios between the two schools (20:1 at LEAD Academy Building A and 34.3:1 at LEAD Academy Building B) suggests potential resource allocation challenges within the district.
