Sunset Acres Elementary School

Summary:

Sunset Acres Elementary School is a public elementary school in Shreveport, Louisiana, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 267 students. The school is part of the Caddo Parish school district, which is ranked 90 out of 122 districts in Louisiana and is rated 1 star out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

Sunset Acres Elementary School consistently ranks among the lowest-performing elementary schools in Louisiana, with student performance on standardized tests significantly below the Caddo Parish and Louisiana state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. The school's rankings for subgroups such as female students, male students, African American students, special education students, and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds are particularly low, with rankings ranging from 297 to 718 out of 724-735 Louisiana elementary schools. This is likely due to the school's high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 80.97% to 89.89% over the past three school years.

Interestingly, the nearby schools in the Caddo Parish district, such as Caddo Heights Math/Science Elementary School, Atkins Technology Elementary School, and Bethune/Oak Park Elementary, also perform significantly below the state averages on standardized tests. However, Claiborne Fundamental Elementary School, located about 2 miles away but in a different district (Recovery School District-LDE), consistently ranks among the top-performing elementary schools in the state. This suggests that factors beyond just the district or geographic location may be contributing to the low performance of Sunset Acres Elementary School and other nearby 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.
