District-Level NCES Analysis
Sci Academy operates 1 public schools serving 638 students, placing it among the smallest districts in Louisiana. The school portfolio breaks down into 1 high schools, a small enough portfolio that most families will interact with nearly every campus in the district at some point. These enrollment and school figures come from the NCES Common Core of Data (CCD) 2024-25 release, and the district is based in Orleans Parish.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $16,212 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, in the upper half of 188 Louisiana districts by per-pupil spending. See how Louisiana compares in our national per-pupil spending analysis. The funding mix is 35.6% local, 36.2% state, and 28.2% federal, a balanced mix across local, state, and federal sources, spreading budget risk across funding cycles rather than concentrating it in one. The district's equity score is 68/100, ranked #31 of 176 in Louisiana against a state average of 50, notably more even than the typical district in the state for how evenly funding reaches its schools.
Academic infrastructure includes 1 of 1 schools offering Advanced Placement (6 AP courses district-wide), a 327.5:1 student-counselor ratio, well above the ASCA benchmark though still under the roughly 408:1 national average, and 23.2% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 79.5% African American, 10.7% Hispanic or Latino, 7.2% Asian across the district's schools.
Its largest campus is Abramson Sci Academy, enrolling 655 students (100% of the district's total enrollment).
Abramson Sci Academy accounts for 100.0% of all Sci Academy student enrollment
That is an overwhelming concentration, leaving the rest of Sci Academy a distant remainder — means Sci Academy-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the largest entity. Grade band: high. The share measures enrollment concentration only; it does not establish how the district allocates programs, capital, or staff. Because it contains a majority of the affected population, enrollment-weighted aggregates will sit closer to this entity's reported fields than to those of smaller peers; an unweighted entity count answers a different question.
The reported share is above 87.5%, so economic need is widespread across the measured student population. Title I operates under the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA, 2015), but its statutory allocation uses additional LEA-level counts and rules not represented by this average. This percentage is an economic-need context measure; it does not establish a Title I award, show dollars received, or describe how funds are distributed among campuses.
Sci Academy student-counselor ratio is 328:1 — near the typical range (US average ~408) — within the typical range for U.S. public districts
student-counselor ratio is the simplest comparative metric but it does not capture the full picture: the ratio counts FTE counselors against total enrollment, districts that contract intervention or social-emotional staff outside the counselor classification may be under-counted Variation between sub-units within Sci Academy is typically wider than the Sci Academy-aggregate figure suggests.
Sci Academy chronic absenteeism rate is 23.2% — near the typical range (US average ~28) — aligned with the national post-pandemic baseline of roughly 28% chronic absenteeism
chronic absenteeism rate is the simplest comparative metric but it does not capture the full picture: a student is chronically absent if they miss ≥10% of enrolled days for any reason, illness, family obligations, or disengagement Variation between sub-units within Sci Academy is typically wider than the Sci Academy-aggregate figure suggests.
Sci Academy has 1 school, including 1 high. Total enrollment is 638 students.
