Best Public Schools in New Roads, LA

Summary:

The city of New Roads, Louisiana has only one school in the data set - Rosenwald Elementary School, a public elementary school serving grades PK-6 with 389 students enrolled. The school faces significant academic and socioeconomic challenges, with a predominantly African American student population (93.06%) and a high rate of free/reduced lunch recipients (88.43%), indicating a high level of economic disadvantage.

Rosenwald Elementary's academic performance, as measured by LEAP test scores, is significantly below state and district averages in both mathematics and English language arts across all grade levels. In 2023-2024, the school's proficiency rates ranged from 18% to 31% in mathematics and 44% to 50% in English language arts, compared to state averages of 59% to 65% in mathematics and 66% to 70% in English language arts. The school's statewide ranking has also declined over the past three years, from 641 out of 727 Louisiana elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 680 out of 730 in 2022-2023, and 620 out of 675 in 2023-2024, and it is currently rated 0 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger.

Given the school's low academic performance and the socioeconomic challenges faced by its student population, there may be a need for targeted interventions and support to help improve student outcomes. Expanding the data set to include more schools in the Pointe Coupee Parish would provide a more comprehensive understanding of the local educational landscape and allow for meaningful comparisons between schools.
