LaPlace Elementary School

Summary:

LaPlace Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-8 in La Place, Louisiana, with a student population of 787 that is predominantly African American. However, the school consistently underperforms compared to the St. John the Baptist Parish and Louisiana state averages on standardized tests, ranking in the bottom half of elementary schools in the state.

LaPlace Elementary's academic struggles are particularly pronounced for its African American and low-income students, who perform in the bottom 30-40% of Louisiana elementary schools. In contrast, the school's Hispanic students perform relatively better, ranking in the top 50%. This disparity highlights the significant impact of socioeconomic factors on academic outcomes. Interestingly, nearby magnet schools like John L. Ory Communications Magnet Elementary significantly outperform LaPlace Elementary, suggesting that the magnet school model may be more effective in this region.

While LaPlace Elementary currently faces significant academic challenges, the school has shown some signs of gradual improvement in recent years, with its statewide ranking increasing from the bottom 25% to the bottom 40% of Louisiana elementary schools. This suggests that with the right interventions and support, there may be opportunities for further progress. Addressing the underlying socioeconomic factors and implementing more targeted educational strategies could be key to helping LaPlace Elementary improve its overall performance and better serve its 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.
