The schools in Assumption Parish show a wide range of student demographics, with some schools having predominantly white student populations and others having majority African American or Hispanic student bodies. This diversity is also reflected in the schools' free/reduced lunch rates, which range from around 50% at Pierre Part Elementary to over 90% at Belle Rose Primary School. The data suggests a correlation between higher free/reduced lunch rates and lower academic performance, raising concerns about equity and access to quality education across the district.
