Summary:
The 70403 zip code area in Louisiana is home to 3 elementary schools: Hammond Westside Montessori, Woodland Park Magnet, and O.W. Dillon Leadership Academy. These schools serve students in the Tangipahoa Parish district and vary significantly in their performance, student demographics, and socioeconomic factors.
Among the three schools, Hammond Westside Montessori stands out as the top performer, with the highest test scores in both Mathematics and English Language Arts, as well as the strongest performance on end-of-course exams. The school also has a more diverse student population, with a higher percentage of White and Hispanic students compared to the other two schools, which are predominantly African American. In contrast, Woodland Park Magnet and O.W. Dillon Leadership Academy generally lag behind the district and state averages in academic performance, particularly in Mathematics.
The data also reveals a correlation between socioeconomic factors and student outcomes, with the schools serving the highest-need student populations, as indicated by their free/reduced lunch rates, also having the lowest test scores. This highlights the challenges faced by schools in high-poverty areas and the importance of targeted interventions and support to address these disparities and ensure equitable educational opportunities for all students.
