Summary:
The city of Amelia, Louisiana has only one public elementary school, J.S. Aucoin Elementary School, which serves grades PK-5 with 283 students. The school is part of the St. Mary Parish school district, which is ranked 57 out of 122 districts in Louisiana and has a 3-star rating.
J.S. Aucoin Elementary stands out for its strong performance in Mathematics, consistently exceeding both the state and district averages. However, the school's English Language Arts results are more uneven, with 3rd grade students outperforming the state and district, but 5th grade students falling behind. Socioeconomically, the school serves a diverse student population, with 55.48% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a significant portion of the community comes from economically disadvantaged backgrounds.
The school's statewide ranking has fluctuated in recent years, ranging from 233 to 321 among Louisiana elementary schools. This suggests the need for further investigation into the factors contributing to these changes and potential areas for improvement. Overall, J.S. Aucoin Elementary demonstrates strengths in Mathematics and serves a diverse community, but may benefit from targeted interventions to address the uneven ELA performance and maintain a more consistent statewide ranking.
