Vinton Elementary School

Summary:

Vinton Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-5 in Vinton, Louisiana, with a student population of 458 as of the 2022-2023 school year. The school is part of the Calcasieu Parish school district, which is ranked 34 out of 122 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Vinton Elementary has a higher percentage of White students (62.23%) compared to the surrounding schools, it also has a higher percentage of African American (21.62%) and Hispanic (10.48%) students. However, the school's academic performance has been declining, with its statewide ranking dropping from 293 out of 729 Louisiana elementary schools in 2020-2021 to 512 out of 675 in 2023-2024. Its SchoolDigger rating has also dropped from 3 stars to 1 star over this time period, in contrast to several nearby schools that have maintained higher rankings and ratings, such as Vincent Settlement Elementary and Frasch Elementary.

Vinton Elementary's student proficiency rates on the LEAP assessments are generally lower than the Calcasieu Parish and Louisiana state averages, particularly in mathematics and social studies. Additionally, the school has a very high percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 54.86% to 90.57% over the past few years, significantly higher than the surrounding schools. These challenges, along with the school's higher student-teacher ratio compared to nearby schools, suggest the need for targeted support and resources to address the academic and socioeconomic needs of Vinton Elementary's students.

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.
