Judge Lionel R. Collins Elementary School

Summary:

Judge Lionel R. Collins Elementary School is a public elementary school in Marrero, Louisiana, serving around 330 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Jefferson Parish school district, which is ranked 72 out of 122 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating.

Academically, Judge Lionel R. Collins Elementary consistently ranks in the bottom half of Louisiana elementary schools, with proficiency rates in Mathematics (36%) and English Language Arts (50%) well below the state averages of 59% and 69%, respectively. The school's performance is particularly low for certain student subgroups, such as White students and students with low socioeconomic status, who rank in the bottom 25% of Louisiana elementary schools. The school also has a relatively high student-teacher ratio, ranging from 15.8 to 18.1 over the past three years, which is higher than the district and state averages.

Compared to nearby schools, such as Laureate Academy Charter School, Ella C. Pittman Elementary School, and Lincoln School for the Arts, Judge Lionel R. Collins Elementary generally performs worse on academic measures. However, some of these nearby schools also serve a high percentage of students from low-income backgrounds, suggesting that factors beyond just socioeconomic status may be contributing to the school's underperformance. The school's high concentration of students from low-income families and relatively high student-teacher ratio may present significant challenges in providing the necessary resources and support for student learning.

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.
