Public Grades 6-12

Summary

Arlington Preparatory Academy is a public high school in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, serving grades 6-12 with a total enrollment of 100 students. The school is part of the East Baton Rouge Parish school district, which is ranked 77 out of 122 districts in Louisiana and is rated 2 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

Arlington Preparatory Academy has a significantly higher percentage of African American students (82-85%) compared to the surrounding schools, which range from 27% to 97% African American. The school consistently performs below the East Baton Rouge Parish and Louisiana state averages on standardized tests, with proficiency rates ranging from 10% to 25% across various subjects and grade levels. This is significantly lower than the high-performing Baton Rouge Magnet High School, which has proficiency rates above 90% in many subjects. Additionally, Arlington Preparatory Academy has a high percentage of students (59-65%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a higher proportion of students from low-income families compared to the surrounding schools.

The data reveals a significant gap in academic performance between Arlington Preparatory Academy and the higher-performing schools in the area, such as Baton Rouge Magnet High School. This suggests that students at Arlington Preparatory Academy may be facing significant challenges that are impacting their educational outcomes. The high percentage of African American and low-income students at the school, coupled with its low academic performance, points to potential issues of equity and access to quality education for these student populations. Addressing these challenges will require a comprehensive approach that considers the school's unique student demographics and the underlying factors contributing to its low performance.
