Summary:
The city of Vacherie, Louisiana is home to 3 schools - 1 elementary, 1 middle, and 1 high school. The data reveals a mix of academic performance, with St. James High School consistently ranking in the top half of Louisiana high schools and outperforming state and district averages on key test scores, while Vacherie Elementary School lags behind in mathematics and English language arts.
Standout schools include St. James High School, which boasts a 3-star rating and strong performance in LEAP exams, and Sixth Ward Elementary School, which exceeds state and district averages in LEAP English Language Arts. All three schools serve predominantly African American student populations and have high rates of free and reduced lunch, suggesting socioeconomic challenges in the St. James Parish community.
The data also reveals relatively low student-teacher ratios across the schools, which may be a contributing factor to the academic performance of the standout institutions. However, the significant disparity in test scores between the schools highlights the need to address equity issues and ensure all students in Vacherie have access to a high-quality education.
