Willow Charter Academy


Summary:

Willow Charter Academy is the sole elementary school in the Willow Charter Academy district, serving grades K-8 in Lafayette, Louisiana. With a total enrollment of 613 students, the school stands out for its strong academic performance in certain subject areas and grade levels, particularly in mathematics and English Language Arts.

Willow Charter Academy excels in mathematics, with proficiency rates exceeding the state average in most grade levels, and an exceptional 71% proficiency rate in 8th-grade mathematics compared to 47% statewide. The school also matches or exceeds the state average in English Language Arts proficiency, with 7th and 8th-grade students performing particularly well at 78% and 82% proficient or better, respectively, compared to 70% statewide. However, the school's statewide ranking has declined over the past three years, from 485 out of 730 Louisiana elementary schools in 2022-2023 to 348 out of 666 in 2024-2025, despite its strong academic performance in certain areas.

One notable challenge for Willow Charter Academy is its high concentration of poverty, with a free/reduced lunch rate of 92.82%. Additionally, the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 24.6% in the 2023-2024 school year is relatively high, which could be a contributing factor to the school's declining statewide ranking. Addressing these issues may be crucial for the school to continue improving and supporting the success of its predominantly low-income student population.
