Lakeshore School

Summary:

Lakeshore School is an elementary school in Monroe, Louisiana, serving 570 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Ouachita Parish School District, which is ranked 44 out of 122 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating.

Lakeshore School faces significant challenges compared to nearby schools and state averages. The school has a much higher percentage of African American students (62.28%) than surrounding schools, and its academic performance consistently lags behind the district and state in both math and English language arts proficiency. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, Lakeshore's math proficiency rate was 39%, compared to 63% for Ouachita Parish and 59% for Louisiana. The school has been ranked in the bottom half of Louisiana elementary schools for several years, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Lakeshore School's performance is particularly low for African American students and students from low-income backgrounds, ranking in the bottom half of Louisiana elementary schools for these subgroups. The school has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 48.59% to 75.44% over the past three years. In contrast, nearby Swartz Upper Elementary School and Jack Hayes Elementary School outperform Lakeshore in both math and English language arts proficiency, suggesting the challenges may be unique to Lakeshore itself.

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.
