Summary:
The 71202 zip code area of Monroe, Louisiana is home to 15 schools, including 10 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, 2 high schools, and 1 alternative school. This area faces significant educational challenges, with most schools struggling to achieve strong academic outcomes for their predominantly African American and economically disadvantaged student populations.
Among the standout schools, Wossman High School and Richwood High School have very high percentages of African American students, low proficiency rates, and relatively low student-teacher ratios. Minnie Ruffin Elementary also stands out with the highest percentage of African American students and the lowest school ranking in the area. In contrast, Robinson Elementary has relatively higher proficiency rates compared to other elementary schools in the 71202 zip code.
Overall, the data paints a concerning picture of the educational landscape in the 71202 zip code. Across the schools, there are stark racial disparities, consistently low performance, high poverty levels, and potential resource constraints, as evidenced by the high student-teacher ratios. Addressing these systemic challenges will likely require a multi-faceted approach targeting factors such as funding, teacher quality, and community engagement to provide high-quality education for the students in this City of Monroe School District and Ouachita Parish.
