Krotz Springs Elementary School

Summary:

Krotz Springs Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-8 in the small town of Krotz Springs, Louisiana, with a student population of 228. Despite its relatively homogeneous racial makeup, the school consistently outperforms the surrounding St. Landry Parish and the state of Louisiana in academic metrics, particularly in Mathematics and English Language Arts proficiency.

Krotz Springs Elementary School stands out for its strong academic performance, with 70% of students proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to 51% for the parish and 59% for the state. The school also ranks highly among Louisiana elementary schools for specific student groups, such as female students (ranked 146 out of 635 schools) and low socioeconomic status students (ranked 196 out of 674 schools). Additionally, Krotz Springs Elementary School maintains a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 12.7 to 15.1 over the past three school years, which is lower than the surrounding St. Martin Parish and Iberville Parish schools.

While Krotz Springs Elementary School has a significantly higher percentage of white students (91.67%) compared to the more diverse student populations at nearby schools like Northeast Elementary School and Grand Coteau Elementary School, it still serves a significant population of low-socioeconomic status students, with 61.84% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2022-2023 school year. This suggests that the school's strong academic performance may be the result of effective teaching practices or other factors that contribute to its consistent success across various student groups.

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.
