Summary:
Lake Charles Charter Academy is the sole elementary school (grades PK-8) operated by the Lake Charles Charter Academy Foundation Inc. district in Louisiana. While the school has some academic strengths, particularly in English Language Arts, it faces challenges in mathematics performance, high chronic absenteeism, and serving a predominantly economically disadvantaged student population.
Lake Charles Charter Academy has consistently ranked in the middle range of Louisiana elementary schools, with a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's proficiency rates on the LEAP assessments are generally lower than the state averages, especially in mathematics, where the school lags the state by 10-15 percentage points across grade levels. However, the school performs better in English Language Arts, with proficiency rates at or above the state average in most grade levels.
The school has a relatively low dropout rate of 3.3%, but a high chronic absenteeism rate of 24.6%, significantly higher than the state average. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch at 84.51%, indicating a predominantly economically disadvantaged student population. These socioeconomic challenges may contribute to the school's academic performance and attendance issues, and the school may need to implement targeted strategies to address these concerns and support student success.
