Summary:
The city of Loranger, Louisiana is home to three schools that serve students from elementary through high school: Loranger Elementary School, Loranger High School, and Loranger Middle School. These schools operate within the Tangipahoa Parish school district and serve a diverse student population with varying academic performance and needs.
Loranger Elementary School stands out as the strongest performer, consistently exceeding the parish and state averages in both Math and English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency. The school's 4th-grade ELA proficiency rate of 66% is particularly impressive. In contrast, Loranger High School lags behind the parish and state in most End-of-Course exam proficiency rates, with the exception of English II. Loranger Middle School excels in ELA proficiency, outperforming the parish and state, but struggles more in Math proficiency.
Across all three schools, the relatively high free/reduced lunch rates, ranging from 58.41% to 66.55%, suggest a significant population of economically disadvantaged students. This may present unique challenges and opportunities for the schools to provide targeted support and resources. Additionally, the student-teacher ratios are relatively low, with all three schools falling below the national average of 16:1, which could be a positive factor in providing more individualized attention and support for students. Overall, the data highlights both strengths and areas for improvement across the Loranger school system, providing a foundation for the district to build upon and address the needs of its diverse student population.
