Cherokee Park Elementary School

Summary:

Cherokee Park Elementary School is a public elementary school in Shreveport, Louisiana, serving 282 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Caddo Parish school district, which is ranked 90 out of 122 districts in Louisiana and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Cherokee Park Elementary consistently ranks in the bottom quartile of Louisiana elementary schools, with academic performance lagging behind both the Caddo Parish and Louisiana state averages across multiple subjects and grade levels. For example, in 2023-2024, only 41% of students were proficient or better in LEAP English Language Arts, compared to 60% in Caddo Parish and 69% statewide. The school's performance is particularly low in 3rd grade, where only 29% of students were proficient or better in LEAP English Language Arts and 31% in LEAP Mathematics, compared to 57% and 55% in Caddo Parish, respectively.

In contrast, the nearby schools in the Bossier Parish district, such as R.V. Kerr Elementary and Plantation Park Elementary, generally outperform Cherokee Park Elementary and the Caddo Parish schools, ranking in the middle to upper half of Louisiana elementary schools. This suggests that addressing the underlying factors, such as curriculum alignment, instructional practices, and the impact of socioeconomic status, will be crucial for improving student outcomes at Cherokee Park Elementary and the surrounding Caddo Parish schools.

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.
