Lucille Nesom Memorial has the lowest proficiency rates among the 3 schools, with only 30% of students scoring proficient or better in Mathematics and 47% in English Language Arts. In contrast, Midway Elementary boasts the highest proficiency rates in the area, with 53% of students proficient in Mathematics and 56% in English Language Arts.

The schools in the 70466 zip code serve a predominantly economically disadvantaged student population, with high percentages of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. This, combined with the consistently low academic performance across the schools, suggests the need for targeted interventions and support programs to address the systemic challenges faced by these schools and their students. Collaboration between the schools, the Tangipahoa Parish district, and community stakeholders will be crucial in developing and implementing effective strategies to improve educational outcomes in this area.
