Summary:
The city of Simmesport, Louisiana has only one school, Riverside Elementary School, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 6th grade.

Academically, Riverside Elementary School has shown some improvement in its performance on LEAP tests, with students scoring above the Avoyelles Parish and Louisiana averages in Mathematics and English Language Arts in the 2023-2024 school year. However, the school still lags behind in Social Studies, and its overall performance, while improving, remains below the state and district averages. The school's student-teacher ratio of 17.7 is slightly higher than the state average, which may impact the level of individual attention and support that students receive.
Despite the challenges faced by Riverside Elementary School, the data suggests that the school is making progress and working to better serve its students. With targeted interventions and support, the school has the potential to continue improving its academic performance and providing a quality education to the children of Simmesport.
