Elementary Schools in Morehouse Parish

The two elementary schools located in Morehouse Parish, Louisiana, Morehouse Elementary School and Delta Elementary School, have consistently underperformed compared to the parish and state averages. Both schools have received a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating they are among the lowest-performing elementary schools in Louisiana.

Morehouse Elementary School has a student population that is over 90% African American, while Delta Elementary School has a more diverse student body. Socioeconomic factors also differ, with Morehouse Elementary having a lower percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients compared to Delta Elementary. Despite these differences, both schools struggle with low proficiency rates in LEAP Mathematics and English Language Arts, well below the Morehouse Parish and Louisiana state averages.

The data suggests that there may be systemic challenges within the Morehouse Parish school district that need to be addressed. Targeted interventions and support, such as resource allocation, teacher quality, and curriculum improvements, could be crucial in driving positive change and improving student outcomes at these elementary schools. Addressing potential equity and access issues, particularly at Morehouse Elementary School, may also be an important consideration for the district.
