Summary

Laureate Academy Charter School is a K-8 school in Harvey, LA, serving 532 students within the Jefferson Parish school district, where a high proportion of students come from low socio-economic backgrounds. The school stands out most dramatically for its exceptionally low chronic absenteeism rate of just 8.6% in 2024-2025, which is far better than the district average of 21.5% and a fraction of the rates seen at nearby schools like Harry S Truman School (37.6%) and Estelle School (33.3%). This strong attendance likely contributes to the school's consistent strength in English Language Arts (ELA), where it outperforms the district average and competes with the state, particularly in 3rd and 7th grades.

Laureate Academy also shines as a "diamond in the rough" for special education students, ranking in the 68th percentile statewide for its effectiveness with this group—a remarkable achievement given that this is often the most challenging subgroup to serve. However, the school faces clear challenges in Mathematics and Social Studies, where proficiency rates lag behind state averages, with a notable dip in 6th grade Social Studies where only 27% of students are proficient. Additionally, the school operates with a very high student-to-teacher ratio of 31.2:1, more than double that of every other nearby school, which may be a concern for parents seeking individualized attention for their children.

Despite stable test scores, Laureate Academy's statewide rank has declined from the 47th percentile to the 33rd percentile over the last two years, suggesting that while it holds steady, other schools across the state are improving faster. Still, the school effectively mitigates the impact of poverty on student outcomes, outperforming other high-poverty schools in the area such as Woodland West School and Lincoln School for the Arts. For parents, Laureate Academy offers a stable, attendance-focused environment with strong literacy programs and exceptional support for special education, though it may need to accelerate improvement in math and social studies to keep pace with statewide gains.
