Summary:
The 70445 zip code area is home to two schools - Chahta-Ima Elementary School and Bayou Lacombe Middle School, both part of the St. Tammany Parish district. While both schools serve diverse student populations with high rates of economic disadvantage, Chahta-Ima Elementary stands out as a stronger performer, ranking 262 out of 730 Louisiana elementary schools and outperforming the state average in both Math and English Language Arts proficiency.
Chahta-Ima Elementary has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger and a relatively high percentage of free/reduced lunch recipients at 67.38%. In contrast, Bayou Lacombe Middle lacks historical ranking data, but also outperforms the state average in Math and English Language Arts proficiency, with an even higher free/reduced lunch rate of 73.74%. Both schools have diverse student populations and relatively low student-teacher ratios, which may contribute to their academic success.
Overall, the schools in the 70445 zip code area are performing reasonably well, with Chahta-Ima Elementary standing out as a particularly strong performer. However, the high rates of economic disadvantage among the student populations highlight the need for continued investment and support to ensure all students have access to a quality education.
