Evangeline Elementary consistently outperforms the Acadia Parish and Louisiana state averages on LEAP assessments, with 90% of students proficient or better in Mathematics compared to 65% for Acadia Parish and 59% for Louisiana. The school has a significantly higher percentage of white students (92%) and a lower percentage of economically disadvantaged students (58.67%) compared to nearby schools. Evangeline Elementary has consistently ranked among the top elementary schools in Louisiana, with a ranking as high as 40 out of 729 schools in 2020-2021 and a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Evangeline Elementary's academic excellence is noteworthy, the school's homogeneous student population raises questions about its ability to serve a diverse student body.

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.
