Summary

Audubon Charter Gentilly is a public charter elementary school serving grades PK-7 in New Orleans, Louisiana, with 437 students. While the school is part of the Audubon Charter Gentilly district, which is ranked 71 out of 118 districts in Louisiana and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger, the school itself has struggled academically.

Audubon Charter Gentilly's proficiency rates on the LEAP assessments are significantly lower than the state averages, ranging from 28% to 58% in math and 51% to 81% in English Language Arts, compared to the state averages of 47% to 65% in math and 65% to 72% in ELA. The school has also experienced high rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 18.1% to 24.6% in recent years, which is much higher than the state average. Additionally, the school's dropout rates have ranged from 0% to 4.3% in recent years, which is concerning.

Compared to nearby charter schools, such as Bricolage Academy and Mary Bethune Elementary Literature/Technology, Audubon Charter Gentilly's academic performance is generally lower. This may be due in part to the school serving a higher proportion of low-income students (65.24% free/reduced lunch recipients in 2022-2023) compared to some nearby schools, such as Edward Hynes Charter School - UNO (45.56% free/reduced lunch recipients in 2023-2024). Addressing the root causes of these challenges, such as chronic absenteeism, will be crucial for improving the school's overall outcomes and providing a high-quality education for its students.
