Summary

Old North Academy is a public charter elementary school serving grades PK-8 in Saint Louis, Missouri, with an enrollment of approximately 500 students. The school is part of the Confluence Academies district, which is ranked 343 out of 367 districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Old North Academy has consistently ranked in the bottom 10-15% of Missouri elementary schools over the past decade, with a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school struggles with extremely high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 43.9% to 57.7% over the past few years, significantly higher than the state average and the rates of nearby schools like St Louis Lang Immersion School and George Washington Carver Elementary. Old North Academy's test scores are consistently well below state and district averages across all grade levels and subjects, with only 7.1% of 3rd graders proficient or better in math, compared to 41.4% statewide.

Despite spending more per student than the state average, between $13,842 and $15,761, Old North Academy is not seeing commensurate improvements in student achievement. The school serves a student population that is almost entirely from low-socioeconomic status backgrounds, with over 100% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. While the school's performance for African American students and low-socioeconomic status students is slightly better than its overall performance, it is still well below state averages. Over the past decade, Old North Academy's statewide ranking has steadily declined, suggesting the school is facing significant challenges in improving student outcomes.
