Best Public Schools in Goldonna, LA

Summary:

The city of Goldonna, Louisiana, is home to a single school, Goldonna Elementary & Junior High School, which serves students from kindergarten through 8th grade. The school's performance has been a concern, with declining academic achievement and significant gaps in proficiency rates compared to the Natchitoches Parish district and the state of Louisiana.

Goldonna Elementary & Junior High School has a student enrollment of 147, with a predominantly White student population (86.39%). However, the school faces significant challenges, including low proficiency rates in Mathematics and English Language Arts (ELA) across all grade levels. For example, in 3rd grade Mathematics, the school's proficiency rate was just 21%, compared to 66% for the district and 62% for the state. The school's performance in Social Studies was also below the district and state averages in the 2022-2023 school year.

The high percentage of students (91.84%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch at Goldonna Elementary & Junior High School suggests that the school serves a population with significant economic challenges, which can impact educational outcomes. The school's low student-teacher ratio of 10.5 to 1 could be a positive factor, but it has not been enough to overcome the academic challenges faced by the school. The declining school performance, with the school's statewide ranking dropping from a 2-star rating in 2021-2022 to a 0-star rating in 2023-2024, indicates that targeted interventions and support are needed to improve student outcomes in this community.
