Summary:

South Crowley Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 301 students in grades 1-5 in Crowley, Louisiana, which is part of the Acadia Parish school district.

While the Acadia Parish district is ranked 28 out of 122 districts in Louisiana and has a 4-star rating, South Crowley Elementary has consistently underperformed compared to the district and state averages in both Mathematics and English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, the school's Mathematics proficiency rate was 50% compared to 65% for Acadia Parish and 59% for the state. Similarly, the school's ELA proficiency rate was 61% compared to 72% for Acadia Parish and 69% for the state. The school's statewide ranking has also declined over the years, from a high of 169 out of 742 Louisiana elementary schools in 2015-2016 to a low of 555 out of 727 in 2021-2022, with a 2-star rating in the most recent 2023-2024 school year.

When comparing South Crowley Elementary to other nearby schools in the Acadia Parish district, such as Egan Elementary School, it becomes evident that the school is underperforming.

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.
