The school is part of the Avoyelles Parish school district, which is ranked 104 out of 122 districts in Louisiana and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Red River Charter Academy has a significantly higher percentage of African American students (61.58%) compared to the nearby schools, such as Rapides High School, Bunkie Magnet High School, and LA School for Ag Science, which have a more balanced racial composition. The school consistently underperforms the state and nearby schools in various LEAP test subjects, including Mathematics, English Language Arts, and End-of-Course exams. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, the school's proficiency rates were significantly lower than the state averages in Algebra I (25% vs. 62%), Geometry (18% vs. 58%), and U.S. History (13% vs. 57%). Additionally, Red River Charter Academy has an extremely high percentage of students (over 98%) who qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

The analysis of Red River Charter Academy's data reveals several areas of concern, including declining academic performance, significant gaps compared to nearby schools, and the school's high concentration of economically disadvantaged students. Addressing these challenges will require a comprehensive approach that addresses both academic and socioeconomic factors to ensure that all students at Red River Charter Academy have access to a high-quality education.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
