Summary:
The 70049 zip code area in Louisiana is home to two schools - West St. John Elementary School (K-7) and West St. John High School. Both schools serve predominantly African American student populations and face significant challenges in providing quality education, as evidenced by their consistently low academic performance and rankings compared to state and district averages.
West St. John Elementary School is ranked 469 out of 675 Louisiana elementary schools and has a 2 out of 5 star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's mathematics and English language arts proficiency rates are well below the state averages, at 48% and 56% respectively. Similarly, West St. John High School is ranked 277 out of 333 Louisiana high schools and has a 1 out of 5 star rating. The high school's English language arts, Algebra I, and Geometry proficiency rates are all significantly lower than the state averages.
Both schools serve a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with free and reduced lunch rates of 44.12% at the elementary school and 50.5% at the high school. Despite the relatively low student-teacher ratios, the schools continue to struggle to improve their academic outcomes. These findings suggest that the schools in the 70049 zip code area face significant challenges that may require targeted interventions and support to address the underlying factors contributing to their underperformance, as they serve the St. John the Baptist Parish community.
