Dalton Charter School

Dalton Charter School is an active, independent public charter district operating a single school facility at 7384 John LeBlanc Blvd. in Sorrento, Louisiana. Situated within the Baton Rouge metropolitan area in a midsize city setting, the district functions as its own local education agency for federal programs, serving families seeking a focused early-to-middle childhood learning environment. Systemically structured to offer academic programs spanning Pre-Kindergarten through eighth grade, the district delivers foundational elementary and middle school curricula designed to cultivate early literacy, numeric reasoning, and personal growth.

For the 2024–2025 school year, the school maintains an intimate academic community with a total enrollment of 189 students across Kindergarten through eighth grade. The student body—comprising 102 male and 87 female students—represents a vibrant community primarily made up of Black students, alongside multiracial and Pacific Islander populations. The district is supported by an expansive staff of 74 full-time equivalent personnel, featuring 44 dedicated classroom teachers, 2 instructional aides, and 28 support staff members. This generous staffing allocation allows for an unusually low student-to-teacher ratio, enabling highly individualized attention, targeted academic interventions, and strong wrap-around support services for every student.
