Summary:
The 70084 zip code area is home to two schools - East St. John High School, serving grades 9-12, and Fifth Ward Elementary School, serving grades PK-4. Both schools are part of the St. John the Baptist Parish school district, which is ranked 78 out of 122 districts in Louisiana and has a 2-star rating.
Academically, both schools struggle, with test scores falling below district and state averages across subject areas. This is likely tied to the high rates of economic disadvantage, with 47.7% of East St. John High School students and 41.16% of Fifth Ward Elementary students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. The racial demographics of the schools also skew heavily towards African American and Hispanic students, with relatively low White student representation.
With only one high school and one elementary school serving the 70084 zip code, there appears to be limited school choice and educational options for families in this area. Addressing the academic, socioeconomic, and resource challenges faced by these schools will be crucial for improving educational outcomes in the 70084 zip code area.
