Green Park Elementary has a significantly higher Hispanic student population (around 72%) compared to the surrounding schools, which range from 11% to 65% Hispanic students. The school's proficiency rates in Mathematics and English Language Arts are generally lower than the Jefferson Parish and Louisiana state averages across all grade levels. However, the school's performance for specific student groups, such as Hispanic students and English Language Learners, is relatively stronger compared to their overall school performance. Additionally, Green Park Elementary has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 34% to 53% over the past few years.

While Green Park Elementary's overall performance is relatively low, its performance for specific student groups, such as Hispanic students and English Language Learners, is stronger in comparison to the overall school rankings. When compared to the nearby schools in the same district, such as Phoebe Hearst School and John Clancy/Joseph Maggiore Elementary School, Green Park Elementary's performance is generally lower, with some exceptions. The school's high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds and the high proportion of Hispanic students may be contributing factors to the school's relatively lower academic performance.

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.
