Summary

Magnolia School of Excellence is a public charter school serving grades K-12 in Shreveport, Louisiana, with 1,449 students. The school is part of the Caddo Parish school district, which is ranked 84 out of 118 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Magnolia School of Excellence faces several challenges. Its 4-year graduation rates have ranged from 77.8% to 83.2% in recent years, lower than the state average of around 85-90%. The school's dropout rates have also been higher than the state average, ranging from 1.9% to 5.7%. Magnolia School of Excellence has had very high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 21.1% to 28.2%, significantly higher than the state average of around 15-20%. Academically, the school significantly underperforms the Caddo Parish and Louisiana state averages across nearly all LEAP test subjects and grade levels.

The challenges faced by Magnolia School of Excellence appear to be reflective of broader issues in the region. The two nearby schools analyzed, Academic Recovery Ombudsman and Doyline High School, also show very low academic performance compared to district and state averages. Additionally, Magnolia School of Excellence has a relatively high percentage of students qualifying for free/reduced lunch, ranging from 32.57% to 55.42% in recent years, indicating a high-need student population that may require additional support. Addressing these systemic issues and providing the necessary resources will be crucial to improving student outcomes at Magnolia School of Excellence.
