Elementary Schools in Central Community School District

The Central Community School District in Louisiana is home to three exceptional elementary schools: Central Intermediate School, Tanglewood Elementary School, and Bellingrath Hills Elementary School. These schools serve students from diverse backgrounds, with a majority of white students and smaller percentages of African American, Hispanic, and Asian students.

Among the three schools, Central Intermediate School stands out as a top performer, consistently ranking among the best elementary schools in Louisiana. With an impressive 5-star rating from SchoolDigger, the school boasts exceptional academic results, with 83-88% of students proficient or better in LEAP Mathematics and English Language Arts across all grades. Additionally, the school's social studies performance is exceptional, with 75% of students proficient or better, significantly higher than the district and state averages.

While the other two schools, Tanglewood Elementary School and Bellingrath Hills Elementary School, may not match the academic excellence of Central Intermediate School, they still provide quality education to their students. The district-wide challenge of high free and reduced lunch rates, ranging from 54.5% to 61.4%, suggests the need to address equity concerns and ensure all students have access to the resources they need to succeed.
