Teche Elementary School

Summary:

Teche Elementary School is a public elementary school in Breaux Bridge, Louisiana, serving 593 students in grades 3-5 and part of the St. Martin Parish School District. The school consistently outperforms the district and state averages in both Mathematics and English Language Arts, with particularly strong performance in Mathematics. Teche Elementary has a more racially diverse student population compared to nearby schools, though it underperforms for its Hispanic student subgroup.

Teche Elementary's academic excellence is a notable strength, with 77% of students proficient or better in Mathematics and 75% in ELA, compared to 56% and 70% for the district, and 59% and 69% for the state. The school's performance is especially strong in Mathematics, where it has maintained a significant advantage over the district and state averages. Teche Elementary also performs well across various student subgroups, ranking in the top half or top quarter of Louisiana elementary schools for Female, Male, African American, and White students.

However, the school has seen a significant increase in the percentage of economically disadvantaged students, from 39% in 2021-2022 to 65% in 2022-2023. This is an important factor to consider, as the school's ability to maintain its academic excellence while supporting the needs of a growing population of students from low-income families is commendable. Additionally, the underperformance of Hispanic students at Teche Elementary is an area of concern that warrants further investigation and targeted interventions to ensure equitable outcomes for all student subgroups. Compared to nearby schools like Breaux Bridge Elementary School, which consistently underperforms the district and state averages, Teche Elementary's performance stands out as a relative strength in the region.

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.
