Villa del Rey Elementary School

Summary:

Villa del Rey Elementary School is a public elementary school in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, serving 396 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the East Baton Rouge Parish school district, which is ranked 77 out of 122 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating.

Villa del Rey faces significant challenges, including a student population that is 71.72% African American, significantly higher than nearby schools. The school's academic performance, as measured by LEAP test scores, is generally lower than the parish and state averages, with proficiency rates in Mathematics (46%) and English Language Arts (51%) well below the parish (48% and 63%) and state (59% and 69%) averages. Villa del Rey has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Louisiana elementary schools, with a 1-out-of-5-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating it is among the lowest-performing schools in the state. However, the school's higher rankings for African American and Hispanic student subgroups suggest that targeted interventions could help improve overall outcomes.

When compared to nearby schools in the East Baton Rouge Parish district, Villa del Rey generally underperforms. For example, Audubon Elementary and Greenbrier Elementary have higher proficiency rates and overall rankings. Villa del Rey's high poverty rate, with 77.02% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, likely contributes to the school's academic challenges. Despite these difficulties, the school's strengths in serving certain student subgroups suggest that with the right strategies and resources, there may be opportunities for improvement.

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.
