Village East Elementary School

Summary:

Village East Elementary School is a public elementary school in Houma, Louisiana, serving 355 students in grades PK-6 as part of the Terrebonne Parish school district.

While Village East has a more diverse student population compared to nearby schools, with a higher percentage of African American, Hispanic, and Native American students, its academic performance lags behind the district and state averages. The school's LEAP test scores show that only 61% of students are proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to 65% for Terrebonne Parish and 59% for Louisiana. In English Language Arts, 60% of Village East students are proficient or better, compared to 78% for the district and 69% for the state. The school's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with English Language Learners ranking highly but White students performing relatively poorly.

Village East also faces challenges related to its high poverty rates, with 51.88% to 67.89% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch over the past three years, significantly higher than the nearby schools. The school's statewide ranking has been declining in recent years, suggesting it is not keeping pace with other schools in Louisiana. To address these issues, Village East may need to focus on addressing achievement gaps, learning from the instructional practices of higher-performing nearby schools like Lisa Park Elementary and Broadmoor Elementary, and allocating additional resources to support students from low-income families.

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.
