Summary:
Impact Charter School is the sole elementary school serving grades PK-8 in the Impact Charter School District, which is ranked 39 out of 118 districts in Louisiana and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. With a total enrollment of 450 students, the school appears to be a relatively strong-performing institution, particularly in the area of English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency.
The school's ELA proficiency rates for all grades combined, as well as for specific grade levels like 7th and 8th, are significantly higher than the state averages. In mathematics, the school also performs well, with proficiency rates above the state average for most grade levels, though there are a few areas, such as 4th and 8th grade, where the school's performance is below the state average. The school's ranking of 379 out of 666 Louisiana elementary schools for the 2024-2025 school year and its 3-star rating from SchoolDigger suggest that there is room for improvement, but the school is still considered a relatively strong-performing institution.
Despite the school's academic strengths, it faces some challenges, such as a high chronic absenteeism rate of 24.6% and a significant percentage (82%) of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a population with significant economic challenges. The school's student-teacher ratio of 10.4 is relatively low, which may contribute to its academic success, but the high percentage of economically disadvantaged students may also impact student learning and achievement in various ways.
