Summary

Einstein Charter at Sherwood Forest is a small elementary school in New Orleans East serving 342 students in grades PK-5, where over 91% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch. The school has historically struggled academically, ranking in the bottom 20% of Louisiana elementary schools over the past seven years, and faces significant challenges with chronic absenteeism at 34.7%—well above the state average of 22.5%.

One of the most striking findings is the contrast with Lake Forest Elementary Charter School, located just 0.75 miles away. Lake Forest is ranked #1 in the state (99th percentile) with near-perfect test scores, while Einstein Charter sits in the 10th percentile. Both schools serve similar demographics in the same neighborhood, yet their outcomes are worlds apart. This "tale of two schools" dynamic suggests that the challenges at Einstein Charter are tied to school-specific culture and leadership rather than the student population itself. Additionally, Einstein Charter's sister school, Einstein Charter School at Village De L'Est, outperforms Sherwood Forest in nearly every subject, indicating campus-specific issues.

Despite these challenges, there are glimmers of hope. Fifth graders at Einstein Charter showed remarkable relative strength in the 2025-2026 school year, scoring 52% proficient in math and 60% in ELA—the highest scores in the school and competitive with Village De L'Est. The school's state ranking also improved from the 4th percentile to the 10th percentile, driven by gains in math proficiency (from 29% to 37%) and ELA (44% to 50%). However, the school struggles to serve its most vulnerable populations, with Hispanic students and English Language Learners performing at the very bottom of the state. The path forward likely requires a radical focus on improving attendance and replicating the instructional strategies that are working for its oldest students.
