North Crowley Elementary School

Summary:

North Crowley Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 310 students in grades 1-5 in Crowley, Louisiana, which is part of the Acadia Parish school district.

Despite being part of a district ranked 28 out of 122 in the state, North Crowley Elementary consistently underperforms compared to both the Acadia Parish and Louisiana state averages on standardized tests. In 2023-2024, only 48% of North Crowley students were proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to 65% in Acadia Parish and 59% statewide. The school's statewide ranking has also steadily declined, placing it in the bottom 25% of Louisiana elementary schools. North Crowley struggles to support the academic achievement of its African American and economically disadvantaged student populations, with large performance gaps compared to their peers.

Interestingly, North Crowley Elementary is located just miles away from several higher-performing Egan Elementary and Estherwood Elementary, which have much stronger academic proficiency rates and statewide rankings. With nearly 90% of its students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, North Crowley faces the significant challenges associated with serving a high-poverty student population, which may contribute to its ongoing struggles to improve student outcomes over time.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
