Summary:
The 70422 zip code area in Tangipahoa Parish, Louisiana is home to 3 public schools: 1 elementary, 1 middle, and 1 high school, all of which are underperforming compared to the district and state averages. These schools serve a predominantly African American student population, with high rates of economic disadvantage as indicated by the large percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.
None of the schools in the 70422 zip code area stand out as high-performing. All three schools - Amite High Magnet, Amite Elementary Magnet School, and Amite Westside Middle Magnet - perform significantly below the Tangipahoa Parish and Louisiana state averages on standardized tests across various subjects and grade levels. For example, the percentage of students proficient or better in LEAP/Algebra I at Amite High Magnet was just 27%, compared to 46% for Tangipahoa Parish and 62% for Louisiana.
The schools in the 70422 zip code area also face challenges related to high student-teacher ratios, ranging from 14.0 to 16.1, and low School Digger rankings, with 1 or 0 out of 5 stars. These factors suggest that the schools may be struggling with resource constraints and other systemic issues that are hindering their ability to improve student outcomes. Addressing the consistently low performance, high poverty levels, and potential resource challenges in this community will be crucial to providing quality educational opportunities for the students.
