Summary:
The 71108 zip code area of Shreveport, Louisiana is home to 4 elementary schools that are part of the Caddo Parish school district. While the district as a whole is ranked 90 out of 122 in the state, the schools in this area consistently perform well below state and district averages, with all 4 schools ranking in the bottom half of Louisiana elementary schools.
None of the schools in the 71108 zip code area stand out as clear academic performers. Caddo Heights Math/Science Elementary, the highest-ranked school in the area, still only ranks 564 out of 730 Louisiana elementary schools. The schools struggle with low test scores, with the percentage of students proficient or better in Mathematics ranging from just 18% to 42%, compared to 49% for Caddo Parish and 59% for the state. Additionally, these schools have very high rates of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, ranging from 85% to 91%, indicating significant socioeconomic challenges among the student populations.
Given the consistently low performance of these schools, there is a clear need for improvement to provide students with a high-quality education and better prepare them for future success. Strategies such as reducing class sizes, implementing more effective instructional practices, and providing additional resources and support for students and teachers could be potential areas of focus for the Caddo Parish school district and community stakeholders.
