Summary:
The Recovery School District-LDE in Louisiana contains only one elementary school, Linwood Public Charter School, which serves grades PK-8 and has an enrollment of 1,059 students. Based on the available data, this school does not appear to be a standout performer, ranking 598 out of 666 Louisiana elementary schools for the 2024-2025 school year and earning a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Linwood Public Charter School's academic performance is consistently below the state average in both mathematics and English language arts across multiple grade levels. The school's mathematics proficiency rates range from 34% for all grades to 40% in 3rd grade and 36% in 8th grade, compared to Louisiana averages of 60%, 64%, and 47%, respectively. Similarly, the school's English language arts proficiency rates are 56% for all grades and 59% in 8th grade, compared to state averages of 70% for both. Additionally, the school has a high dropout rate of 3.3% and a chronic absenteeism rate of 24.6%, which are concerning indicators of student engagement and success.
Despite being a charter school, Linwood Public Charter School does not appear to be making significant improvements in its academic performance or other key metrics over the years. The school's high poverty rate, with 90.27% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, and its declining statewide ranking suggest that it may require substantial interventions and support to improve student outcomes and provide a quality education for the community it serves.
