Jonesville Elementary School

Summary:

Jonesville Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 259 students in grades PK-5 in Jonesville, Louisiana, which is part of the Catahoula Parish school district.

Jonesville Elementary stands out for its diverse student population, with around 50% African American and 45% White students, and its strong performance in Mathematics, where 68% of students were proficient or better in 2023-2024, outpacing the Catahoula Parish and Louisiana state averages. However, the school has a higher student-teacher ratio of 21.9 and a relatively high percentage of students (51-78%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating challenges in providing individualized attention and resources for its student population.

Compared to nearby schools like Nebo Elementary and Jena Elementary in the higher-performing LaSalle Parish district, Jonesville Elementary has seen fluctuations in its statewide ranking, ranging from 253 out of 739 Louisiana elementary schools in 2016-2017 to 495 out of 729 in 2020-2021. This suggests the school's performance has been somewhat inconsistent, and there may be potential achievement gaps among different student subgroups that the school needs to address.

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.
