Queensborough Elementary School

Summary:

Queensborough Elementary School is a public elementary school in Shreveport, Louisiana, serving 275 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.

Queensborough Elementary faces significant challenges compared to nearby schools. The school has a much higher percentage of African American students (95.64%) than surrounding schools, which range from 60.4% to 94.87% African American. Queensborough's test scores are consistently lower than the Caddo Parish and Louisiana state averages across all grade levels and subjects. For example, in 2023-2024, only 38% of Queensborough students were proficient or better in LEAP English Language Arts, compared to 60% in Caddo Parish and 69% statewide. Queensborough has consistently ranked in the bottom 25% of Louisiana elementary schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past 7 years. The school also has a very high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 81.5% to 90.18% over the past 3 years, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

Queensborough's performance lags significantly behind nearby Claiborne Fundamental Elementary School and South Highlands Elementary Magnet School, which are both ranked in the top 5% of Louisiana elementary schools and have much higher test scores and student outcomes. However, Queensborough's African American students and students with special needs perform better relative to their peers in Louisiana compared to the school's overall performance, suggesting that targeted interventions and support for these subgroups may be beneficial.

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.
