East Elementary School consistently outperforms the St. Landry Parish and Louisiana state averages in LEAP test scores across all grades and subjects.

The school also ranks very highly for its performance with specific student subgroups, ranking 51st out of 509 Louisiana elementary schools for its African American students and 35th out of 434 for its White students. Additionally, East Elementary has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 14.5 to 16.7, which is lower than the nearby Lawtell Elementary, Eunice Elementary, and Glendale Elementary schools.

Over the past several years, East Elementary School has consistently ranked in the top 25% of Louisiana elementary schools, with a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. This indicates the school is providing a high-quality education to its diverse student population, which includes a roughly even split between White and African American students, as well as smaller percentages of Hispanic, Asian, and multiracial students. Despite the high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting significant socioeconomic challenges, East Elementary School's strong academic performance shows it is effectively supporting these students. When compared to the nearby schools in the St. Landry Parish district and the neighboring Acadia and Evangeline Parish districts, East Elementary School consistently outperforms them on academic measures, particularly in English Language Arts and Mathematics.

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.
