Summary

Athlos Academy of Jefferson Parish is a public charter elementary and middle school located in Terrytown, Louisiana, serving 1,125 students in grades K-8. While the school is part of the Athlos Academy of Jefferson Parish district, which is ranked 111 out of 118 districts in the state, the performance of Athlos Academy itself raises significant concerns.

Athlos Academy consistently underperforms the state average in both Mathematics and English Language Arts proficiency across all grade levels. In the 2024-2025 school year, only 32% of Athlos Academy students were proficient in Mathematics, compared to the state average of 60%, and only 46% were proficient in English Language Arts, compared to the state average of 70%. The school's performance is particularly concerning for certain student subgroups, ranking in the bottom 25% of Louisiana elementary schools for female, male, African American, and low socioeconomic status students in both subject areas. Additionally, Athlos Academy has consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 10.4% to 24.6% over the past few years, and relatively high dropout rates, ranging from 3.2% to 5.2% in recent years.

When compared to nearby schools, Athlos Academy's performance is significantly lower. For example, Belle Chasse Elementary School, which is only 2.57 miles away, consistently outperforms Athlos Academy in both Mathematics and English Language Arts proficiency, with over 85% of students meeting or exceeding state standards. While Athlos Academy's English Language Learner (ELL) students perform relatively better than other subgroups, ranking in the top 50% of Louisiana elementary schools, the school's high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 46.08% to 80.9% in recent years, likely contributes to the overall academic challenges.
