Port Barre Elementary School

Summary:

Port Barre Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 447 students in grades PK-4 in Port Barre, Louisiana, which is part of the St. Landry Parish school district.

Port Barre Elementary consistently outperforms the St. Landry Parish and Louisiana state averages in both Mathematics and English Language Arts proficiency across all grades. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, 75% of Port Barre students were proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to 51% for the parish and 59% for the state. The school also has a relatively diverse student population, with a racial makeup of 72.26% White, 26.4% African American, and smaller percentages of Hispanic, Asian, and multi-racial students. Additionally, the school has a low student-teacher ratio of 17.6, which may contribute to its strong academic performance.

While Port Barre Elementary outperforms the district and state averages, some nearby schools, such as Palmetto Elementary and Krotz Springs Elementary, also demonstrate strong academic performance, particularly in Mathematics and English Language Arts. However, Port Barre Elementary's statewide ranking has declined over the past several years, despite maintaining a 3-star rating, suggesting that the school may be facing challenges in keeping pace with improvements at other schools across the state.

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.
