Dorseyville Elementary School

Summary:

Dorseyville Elementary School is a public elementary school in White Castle, Louisiana, serving 432 students in grades PK-6. The school is part of the Iberville Parish school district, which is ranked 63 out of 122 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating.

Dorseyville stands out for its strong academic performance, particularly in mathematics and English Language Arts, despite serving a predominantly African American (81.71%) and economically disadvantaged student population. The school's mathematics and ELA proficiency rates consistently exceed the Iberville Parish and Louisiana state averages. However, Dorseyville's social studies proficiency rates are lower than the district and state. The school also has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 9.6 to 17.1 over the past three years.

Compared to nearby schools, Dorseyville's academic performance is notably stronger than Iberville Elementary and Crescent Elementary/Junior High, which have similar district rankings and student demographics. The Ascension Parish schools, such as Bluff Ridge Primary and Lowery Elementary, have significantly higher academic achievement, likely due to the district's higher overall ranking and resources. In contrast, Belle Rose Primary in the Assumption Parish district has the lowest academic performance among the comparison schools.

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.
