Plantation Park Elementary School

Summary:

Plantation Park Elementary School is a public elementary school in Bossier City, Louisiana, serving 598 students in grades PK-5. The school faces several challenges, including a high percentage of economically disadvantaged and African American students, lower overall academic performance, and a ranking in the bottom half of Louisiana elementary schools.

Plantation Park has a significantly higher percentage of African American students (75.08%) compared to the surrounding schools, and a very high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 59.7% to 91.47% over the past few years. The school's overall performance on LEAP tests is generally lower than the Bossier Parish and Louisiana averages, with proficiency rates ranging from 30% to 66% in math and 37% to 70% in English Language Arts. The school's performance is particularly low in social studies, with proficiency rates ranging from 23% to 41%, well below the district and state averages. However, Plantation Park's Hispanic and White student subgroups have performed relatively well, with some of their proficiency rates exceeding the district and state averages.

Compared to nearby schools, Plantation Park's performance is generally lower than other Bossier Parish schools, such as W.T. Lewis Elementary and Apollo Elementary, which have higher proficiency rates and better overall rankings. However, Plantation Park outperforms some of the nearby schools in the Caddo Parish district, such as Creswell Elementary and J.S. Clark Elementary, which have even lower proficiency rates and rankings.

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.
