Summary:
The 70583 zip code area in Louisiana is home to 4 schools, including 3 elementary schools and 1 middle school. The data reveals a clear divide in school performance within this area, with J. Wallace James Elementary School and L. Leo Judice Elementary School consistently ranking among the top schools in the state, while Westside Elementary School and Scott Middle School lag behind in performance.
The standout school in the area is L. Leo Judice Elementary, which has a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger and test scores that significantly exceed the Lafayette Parish and state averages. J. Wallace James Elementary also performs well, with a 4-star rating and test scores above the district and state averages. In contrast, Westside Elementary and Scott Middle School have lower rankings and test scores compared to the top-performing schools.
The data suggests that the racial makeup and free/reduced lunch rates of the schools may be contributing factors to their performance. L. Leo Judice Elementary has a majority White student population and the lowest free/reduced lunch rate, while the lower-performing schools have more diverse student bodies and higher percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. The student-teacher ratios, however, appear to be relatively consistent across the schools, indicating that this factor may not be a significant driver of the performance differences.
