Eunice Elementary School

Summary:

Eunice Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades K-4 in Eunice, Louisiana, with a student population of 248 and a student-teacher ratio of 16.6 for the 2022-2023 school year. The school is part of the St. Landry Parish school district, which is ranked 47 out of 122 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite its diverse student population, with 37.5% White, 51.61% African American, 5.24% Hispanic, and 2.02% Asian students, Eunice Elementary School has seen a significant decline in its statewide ranking, dropping from a high of 39 out of 777 Louisiana elementary schools in 2013-2014 to 497 out of 675 in 2023-2024, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school faces significant socioeconomic challenges, with 79.03% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, which is significantly higher than the state and district averages. Eunice Elementary School consistently underperforms compared to the St. Landry Parish and Louisiana averages in both Mathematics and English Language Arts proficiency, with only 39% of students proficient or better in Mathematics in the 2023-2024 school year, compared to 51% in the district and 59% statewide.

Eunice Elementary School's performance is significantly lower than that of nearby schools, such as East Elementary School and Glendale Elementary School, which are also part of the St. Landry Parish district. These schools consistently outperform Eunice Elementary in both Mathematics and English Language Arts proficiency. The school's declining trend and underperformance, particularly for African American and low-socioeconomic status students, suggest that Eunice Elementary School requires targeted interventions and support to address these challenges and improve student outcomes.

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.
