Summary:
The 71082 zip code area is home to two schools - North Caddo Elementary-Middle School and North Caddo High School. Both schools serve a predominantly economically disadvantaged student population, with high rates of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. While the elementary-middle school has a more diverse student body, the high school has a higher percentage of white students.
Academically, both schools have consistently low rankings and proficiency rates on state assessments, significantly below the Caddo Parish and Louisiana averages. The elementary-middle school serves grades PK-8 and has a student-teacher ratio of 17.2, while the high school serves grades 9-12 and has a ratio of 14.7, both within the typical recommended range.
The persistent underperformance of these schools, coupled with the significant socioeconomic challenges faced by the community, suggests a need for targeted interventions and additional resources to address the unique needs of the students. Opportunities for collaboration between the two schools and the district may also be beneficial in improving educational outcomes for the students in this area.
