Summer Grove Elementary faces significant challenges, with a student population that is 88.09% African American, compared to a state average of 44.5%. Academically, the school's performance on LEAP tests is significantly lower than the Caddo Parish and Louisiana state averages across all grade levels and subjects.

Summer Grove's performance is particularly low for African American, special education, and low socioeconomic status students, ranking in the bottom quartile of Louisiana elementary schools for these subgroups.

Compared to nearby schools in the Caddo Parish district, Summer Grove's academic performance is consistently lower. For example, Forest Hill Elementary, located just 1.17 miles away, has significantly higher LEAP test scores and a higher 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. The high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at Summer Grove, as well as the school's low academic performance, suggest that socioeconomic factors may be playing a significant role in the school's challenges. This highlights the need for targeted interventions and support to address the unique needs of the student population.

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.
