Summary

Athlos Academy of Jefferson Parish is a K-8 charter school in Terrytown, LA, serving 1,012 students as its own single-school district, which ranks in the bottom 8% of all Louisiana districts. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom 10-15% of Louisiana elementary schools over the past five years, with a high student-to-teacher ratio of 22.3:1—significantly higher than nearby schools like Belle Chasse Elementary School (12.1:1) and Geraldine Boudreaux Elementary School (16.6:1). Over 80% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch, and the school has a chronic absenteeism rate of 14.6%, which has improved from a high of 26.3% in 2020-2021.

Academically, Athlos Academy struggles significantly compared to its neighbors. In mathematics, only 32% of students are proficient, versus 91% at Belle Chasse Elementary (just 2.57 miles away). In English Language Arts, 55% are proficient compared to 85% at Belle Chasse Elementary. Social studies proficiency is 36% versus 74% at Belle Chasse Elementary. A notable bright spot is 5th and 6th grade ELA, where 71% and 66% of students are proficient, respectively—close to the state average. However, middle school performance drops sharply: 7th grade math proficiency is just 30% (35 points below the state average), and 8th grade math is 29% (23 points below). The school also reports a 5.2% dropout rate, which is high for a K-8 school and suggests retention issues in upper grades.

Interestingly, Athlos Academy serves its most vulnerable students relatively better than its general population. While the school ranks in the 13th percentile overall, it ranks in the 24th percentile for African American students, 19th for Hispanic students, and 23rd for English Language Learners. A stark contrast is Geraldine Boudreaux Elementary School, located just 0.2 miles away with a similar demographic profile (72.5% free/reduced lunch), yet achieving vastly higher scores—such as 95% proficiency in 6th grade math versus Athlos's 42%. This gap suggests school-level factors like instruction and leadership, not the student population, drive outcomes. For parents, this school may offer targeted support for specific groups but faces significant challenges in overall academic growth and middle school readiness.
