Blanchard Elementary School

Summary:

Blanchard Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-3 in Shreveport, Louisiana, with 404 students and a predominantly White student population (71.04%). The school consistently outperforms the Caddo Parish and Louisiana state averages on standardized tests, but has seen a decline in its statewide ranking in recent years.

Blanchard Elementary stands out for its strong academic performance, with 65% proficiency in Math and 63% proficiency in English Language Arts, compared to 50% and 59% for Caddo Parish, and 59% and 67% for the state, respectively. The school also has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 18.3 and a lower percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (57.18%) compared to nearby schools, which range from 75.59% to 93.81%. However, the school's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with female students and White students outperforming their male and African American counterparts.

While Blanchard Elementary's academic performance is generally stronger than the nearby schools, the highest-performing school in the area is Judson Fundamental Elementary, which outperforms Blanchard Elementary across all subjects and grade levels. The declining performance of Blanchard Elementary over the years and the disparities in subgroup performance are areas that warrant further investigation to ensure that all students are receiving the support they need to succeed.

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.
