How New Vision Learning Academy compares with Louisiana and U.S. medians
What stands out at New Vision Learning Academy
New Vision Learning Academy is a higher-need, small charter combined-grade school in Monroe, Louisiana, enrolling 227 students.
Class loads run heavy: 20.6:1 is larger than about 87% of Louisiana schools and 23% above the 16.8:1 state mean, so each teacher carries more students than is typical.
Economic need runs somewhat below the state's typical profile, with 50.2% of students eligible for free meals.
Enrollment of 227 puts it in the smaller third of Louisiana schools by headcount.
Its Resource Investment Index sits near the middle of the pack among 1,330 scored Louisiana schools.
Among 103 similarly sized, similarly resourced-need Louisiana schools statewide, it ranks #82, in the lower tier once campus size and economic need are matched.
Its student body is predominantly African American (100% of enrollment), among the less diverse in the state (diversity index 0/100).
Attendance holds up well here: only 2.2% of students were chronically absent, below the typical post-pandemic national figure.
Its district draws 19.9% of revenue from federal sources, an above-typical federal share that tends to track a higher-need student population.
Among Monroe's public schools, it stands alongside Ouachita Parish High School (1,112 students): New Vision Learning Academy is smaller than that campus by headcount and runs heavier classes (20.6:1 vs 17.7:1).
New Vision Learning Academy is a single-school charter district, so New Vision Learning Academy operates independently rather than alongside district-mates.
