Lenwil Elementary School

Summary:

Lenwil Elementary School is a public elementary school in West Monroe, Louisiana, serving 288 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.

While Lenwil has a higher percentage of White students (55.9%) compared to nearby schools, its academic performance is significantly lower than the Ouachita Parish and Louisiana state averages. In 2023-2024, only 39% of Lenwil students were proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to 63% in Ouachita Parish and 59% statewide. Lenwil has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Louisiana elementary schools, earning a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's performance varies greatly among different student subgroups, with Hispanic students performing relatively well but White students and those from low-income backgrounds struggling.

Lenwil's high percentage of students (85.07%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch indicates a significant level of economic disadvantage. The school's performance has been declining over the past several years, and it lags behind nearby schools like Highland Elementary and Boley Elementary, which have higher academic achievement and better statewide rankings. These challenges suggest that Lenwil Elementary may need targeted interventions and support to improve outcomes for all students.

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.
