Slaughter Elementary School

Summary:

Slaughter Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 482 students in grades PK-6 in the town of Slaughter, Louisiana, which is part of the East Feliciana Parish school district. The school stands out for its consistently strong academic performance, with students outperforming the district and state averages in both Math and English Language Arts proficiency.

One key differentiator is Slaughter Elementary's student racial makeup, which has a significantly higher percentage of white students (69.5%) compared to the surrounding schools that tend to have a majority African American student population. Additionally, the school maintains a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 16:1, lower than the state average. However, the school's free/reduced lunch rates have fluctuated significantly, ranging from 29.8% to 99.33%, indicating a diverse socioeconomic population.

While Slaughter Elementary has been a high-performing school, its statewide ranking has declined in recent years, from 169 out of 731 Louisiana elementary schools in 2018-2019 to 339 out of 675 in 2023-2024. This suggests the school may be struggling to keep pace with improvements in other schools across the state. Additionally, the school's performance varies by student subgroup, with white and male students tending to outperform their African American and female counterparts, respectively. Nearby schools like Advantage Charter Academy and Park Ridge Academic Magnet School also demonstrate strong academic performance, providing a competitive educational landscape in the region.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
