Summary

Amite Elementary Magnet School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-4 in Amite, Louisiana, with an enrollment of 450 students. The school is part of the Tangipahoa Parish school district, which is ranked 87 out of 118 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite being a magnet school, Amite Elementary Magnet School consistently ranks in the bottom half of Louisiana elementary schools, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math below the Tangipahoa Parish and Louisiana state averages. The school's performance is particularly low in Social Studies, with only 28% proficiency compared to the state average of 49%. Additionally, the school struggles with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 21.9% to 39.1% over the past few years, significantly higher than the state average.

However, the school's special education students perform well, ranking in the top 15% of Louisiana elementary schools for this subgroup in 2021-2022. This suggests that the school may be providing effective support and resources for these students, which could inform efforts to improve outcomes for other subgroups. Addressing the root causes of the school's academic and attendance challenges, such as socioeconomic factors and resource allocation, will be crucial for Amite Elementary Magnet School to improve and better serve its students.
