AmiKiDs Caddo

Summary:

AmiKiDs Caddo is a public charter middle school in Shreveport, Louisiana, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 252 students. The school is part of the Caddo Parish school district, which is ranked 76 out of 114 districts in Louisiana and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

AmiKiDs Caddo has consistently ranked among the lowest-performing middle schools in Louisiana, ranking 463 out of 465 middle schools in the state for the 2022-2023 school year. The school's student population is predominantly African American (88.89%) and comes from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 87.7% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. Additionally, AmiKiDs Caddo has a very high student-teacher ratio of 61:1, which is significantly higher than the nearby schools and the state average. These factors suggest that the school is facing significant challenges in providing a quality education to its students.

In contrast, the nearby schools, such as Donnie Bickham Middle School, Ridgewood Middle School, and Youree Dr. Middle Advanced Placement Magnet School, generally perform better academically, have more diverse student populations, and have lower percentages of students from low-income families. This highlights the need for targeted interventions and support to address the unique challenges faced by AmiKiDs Caddo and its student population.

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.
