Summary:
The 71203 zip code area in Louisiana is home to 11 schools, including 6 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, 2 high schools, and 1 alternative school, which are part of the Ouachita Parish School District and the City of Monroe School District. The data reveals a diverse landscape, with both high-performing and low-performing schools, as well as significant socioeconomic and racial diversity within the student population.
Among the standout schools in the area, Sterlington High School ranks 20th out of 333 Louisiana high schools and has a 5-star rating, with strong test scores and a relatively low free/reduced lunch rate. East Ouachita Middle School also stands out, ranking 212th out of 449 Louisiana middle schools and having high proficiency rates in English Language Arts. On the other hand, schools like Roy Neal Shelling Senior Elementary and Sherrouse School struggle, with proficiency rates well below the district and state averages.
The data also reveals significant disparities in free/reduced lunch rates, ranging from 40.63% at Sterlington High School to 92.86% at Ouachita Junior High School, as well as racial imbalances in some schools, such as Jack Hayes Elementary with an 88.25% African American student population. These findings raise questions about equity and access to quality education within the 71203 zip code area, and further investigation may be warranted to address any systemic issues.
