St. Landry Parish

Summary:

The St. Landry Parish school district in Louisiana consists of 32 schools, including 16 elementary schools, 9 middle schools, and 7 high schools. The district serves a diverse student population with varying socioeconomic backgrounds and academic performance levels.

Among the standout schools in the district, Magnet Academy for Cultural Arts is a high-performing high school that ranks 11th out of 333 Louisiana high schools and has a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger. Other top-performing elementary schools include Palmetto Elementary School, East Elementary School, and Grand Prairie Elementary School, all of which have impressive proficiency rates in math and English.

However, the data also reveals significant performance gaps between the highest-performing and lowest-performing schools in the district, with a correlation between a school's socioeconomic status (as measured by free/reduced lunch rates) and its academic performance. The presence of a high-performing charter school, Ecole Saint-Landry, suggests that school choice may play a role in providing educational opportunities for students in the St. Landry Parish district. Overall, the data highlights both the strengths and challenges facing the schools in this area, providing insights for targeted interventions and support to improve student outcomes across the district.
