Summary:

Chalmette Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-5 in Chalmette, Louisiana, with a student population of 511 as of the 2022-2023 school year. The school is part of the St. Bernard Parish school district, which is ranked 50 out of 122 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Chalmette Elementary has a more diverse student population compared to nearby schools, with a significant African American (37.77%) and Hispanic (32.49%) student population, as well as a notable White student presence (23.29%). However, the school's academic performance, as measured by LEAP test scores, is generally lower than the surrounding schools, with proficiency rates in Mathematics (50%) and English Language Arts (65%) below the St. Bernard Parish and Louisiana state averages. The school's performance also varies significantly across different student subgroups, with White students performing relatively well but African American, Hispanic, and English Language Learner students performing below average.

Chalmette Elementary has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 54.13% to 70.45% over the past three school years, which is higher than the nearby schools like Joseph J. Davies Elementary and Lacoste Elementary, which generally outperform Chalmette Elementary in academic measures. These factors suggest potential challenges the school may face in improving overall academic achievement and addressing the performance disparities among different student subgroups.

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.
