Summary:
The city of Tallulah, Louisiana is home to 5 schools serving students from elementary through high school, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 2 high schools (one of which is an alternative school). Unfortunately, the data paints a concerning picture of a school district that is struggling to provide a quality education to its students, with all schools performing well below state averages on key metrics.
Based on the information provided, there are no clear standout schools in Tallulah. The highest-performing school appears to be Madison Middle School, which ranked 430 out of 449 Louisiana middle schools in the 2023-2024 school year and had 42% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts. However, this is still significantly below the state average of 69%. The other schools, including the two elementary schools and the two high schools, all have very low statewide rankings and test scores that lag far behind state averages.
The data reveals that the poor academic performance is not isolated to a single school, but rather a systemic issue across the entire Madison Parish school district. All of the Tallulah schools, regardless of grade level, have extremely low statewide rankings and test scores that are well below state averages. This suggests that the district may need to re-evaluate its strategies and implement more effective, evidence-based approaches to drive academic progress and address the underlying socioeconomic challenges facing the student population.
