Hazel Park/Hilda Knoff School

Summary:

Hazel Park/Hilda Knoff School is an elementary school serving grades PK-8 in River Ridge, Louisiana, with a student population of 462. 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 from SchoolDigger.

Despite its relatively low student-teacher ratio, Hazel Park/Hilda Knoff School has consistently underperformed compared to the Jefferson Parish and Louisiana state averages on LEAP assessments in both Mathematics and English Language Arts. The school's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with White students performing relatively well, but African American, Hispanic, and low-socioeconomic status students performing significantly worse. This suggests the school may need to implement targeted interventions to address these disparities.

When compared to nearby schools in the same district, such as Rudolph Matas School and Dr. John Ochsner Discovery Health Sciences Academy, Hazel Park/Hilda Knoff School generally underperforms. The school's high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, as well as its declining performance over time, suggest that it may face broader socioeconomic and resource challenges that contribute to its academic struggles.

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.

Open Quote As a previous student, I would give it zero out of one million. The teachers were terrible. They were not supportive of my learning needs. They called me names. They did not protect my safety when another student attacked me. I hate school because of my experience at this school. Close Quote

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.
