Summary

Elan Academy Charter School is a public charter school serving 437 students in grades PK-8 in New Orleans, Louisiana. However, the school has consistently underperformed, ranking in the bottom half of Louisiana elementary schools over the past 5 years and maintaining a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating very low performance.

Elan Academy struggles across multiple metrics compared to state and local averages. The school has high dropout rates ranging from 3.3% to 23% over the past 2 years, well above the state average. It also has high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 15.6% to 30.9% over the past 2 years. Academically, Elan Academy students perform significantly below the state average in both math and English language arts across all grade levels, with only 38% proficiency in math and 59% in ELA in the 2024-2025 school year, compared to state averages of 60% and 70% respectively.

Interestingly, Elan Academy performs significantly worse than nearby charter and public schools like Alice M Harte Elementary Charter School, Belle Chasse Elementary, and Lacoste Elementary, which have much higher academic proficiency rates and rankings. Despite having a relatively low student-teacher ratio, Elan Academy has not been able to effectively address the academic and non-academic needs of its students, which are predominantly from high-poverty backgrounds.
