With a high percentage of students (73.63%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, Grayson Elementary School serves a population with a relatively low socioeconomic status.

For example, in 5th grade Mathematics, the school's proficiency rate is 39% compared to 47% in Caldwell Parish and 61% statewide. Similarly, in 5th grade Social Studies, the school's proficiency rate is just 19% compared to 32% in the district and 48% across Louisiana. The school's high student-teacher ratio of 18.2 may be a contributing factor to its lower academic performance.

Continued monitoring and targeted interventions will be necessary to improve the academic outcomes at this school and better serve the needs of its students.
