Summary:
The 71019 zip code area in Louisiana is home to 5 schools, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, 1 high school, and 1 alternative school, all part of the Red River Parish school district. While the district is ranked 82 out of 122 in Louisiana and rated 2 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger, one school in the area stands out - Red River Elementary School, which performs above the district and state averages in mathematics and English language arts proficiency.
In contrast, the other schools in the 71019 zip code area face more significant academic challenges. Red River Junior High School and Red River Academic Academy rank in the bottom half of their respective school types in Louisiana. The high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 98% to over 98% across most schools, may be a contributing factor to the academic struggles observed in the data.
While Red River High School performs better than the district average on end-of-course exams, the overall academic performance of the schools in the 71019 zip code area suggests room for improvement. Targeted interventions and support, such as smaller class sizes, additional resources, and specialized programs, could help address the academic disparities and better serve the needs of the diverse student population, which includes a significant African American representation ranging from 55% to 74% across the schools.
