Elementary Schools in Richland Parish


Summary:

The Richland Parish school district in Louisiana is home to 5 elementary schools serving students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. The data reveals stark differences in academic performance and student demographics across these schools, with some standouts like Mangham Elementary School and Holly Ridge Elementary School consistently outperforming the district and state averages, while others like Rayville Elementary School and Delhi Elementary School struggle academically.

The top-performing schools, Mangham Elementary and Holly Ridge Elementary, have relatively low free/reduced lunch rates and demonstrate strong academic performance, ranking in the top 50% of Louisiana elementary schools. In contrast, Rayville Elementary and Delhi Elementary have very high free/reduced lunch rates, indicating a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, and their test scores fall well below the Richland Parish and Louisiana averages. The racial makeup of the schools is also quite segregated, with Mangham Elementary and Start Elementary having a majority white student population, while Rayville Elementary and Delhi Elementary have a majority African American student population.

These findings suggest that factors such as student demographics and socioeconomic status play a significant role in student outcomes, and that targeted interventions and resource allocation may be necessary to support the academic success of all students in the Richland Parish school district. However, the data also indicates that with the right strategies, even lower-performing schools like Holly Ridge Elementary can make progress and improve their performance.
