Loranger Elementary School

Summary:

Loranger Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 834 students in grades PK-4 in Loranger, Louisiana, which is part of the Tangipahoa Parish school district. Despite being in a lower-ranked district, Loranger Elementary consistently outperforms the parish and state averages on standardized tests, with 61% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts compared to 54% for the parish and 69% for the state.

Loranger Elementary's Hispanic and multi-racial student subgroups perform exceptionally well, ranking in the top 55 and top 19 elementary schools in Louisiana, respectively. However, the school faces challenges related to increasing economic disadvantage, with the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch rising from 43.95% in 2020-2021 to 66.55% in 2022-2023. Additionally, the school's African American and White student subgroups lag behind their peers statewide, highlighting the need to address achievement gaps and ensure equitable outcomes for all students.

Compared to nearby schools in the Tangipahoa Parish district, such as Hammond Westside Montessori, Champ Cooper Elementary, and Roseland Montessori, Loranger Elementary generally outperforms them on academic measures. However, the higher-performing Southeastern LA University Lab School, located about 9 miles away, demonstrates that even higher levels of academic achievement are possible within the same district.

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.
