Carter C. Raymond Junior High School

Summary:

Carter C. Raymond Junior High School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-8 in Lecompte, Louisiana, with an enrollment of 185 students as of the 2022-2023 school year. The school faces significant challenges, as it has consistently underperformed academically compared to the Rapides Parish district and the state of Louisiana.

One key issue is the school's racial makeup, with a significantly higher percentage of African American students (75.14%) compared to surrounding schools. This demographic factor is important, as the school's academic performance, as measured by LEAP test scores, is substantially lower than the Rapides Parish and Louisiana state averages across all grade levels and subjects. For example, in 2023-2024, only 30% of students were proficient or better in Math, compared to 61% in Rapides Parish and 59% statewide. Similarly, the school's English Language Arts proficiency rate of 55% lags behind the parish (73%) and state (69%) averages. Additionally, the school ranks particularly low for female students and African American students, indicating significant achievement gaps for these demographic groups.

Another key factor is the school's high percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 61.31% to 94.05% over the past three years, suggesting a high concentration of students from low-income households. When comparing Carter C. Raymond Junior High to other schools in the Rapides Parish district, such as Ruby-Wise Elementary, Caroline Dormon Junior High, and Poland Junior High, it stands out as a clear outlier in terms of academic achievement, raising serious equity concerns and the need for comprehensive, data-driven interventions to address the unique challenges facing this school.

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.
