Summary:
The 71241 zip code area is home to 3 schools, including 1 elementary school, 1 high school, and 1 alternative school. While the D'Arbonne Woods Charter School stands out with consistently high test scores that outperform state averages, the two Union Parish schools lag significantly behind, ranking in the bottom 5% of Louisiana elementary schools.
The data reveals a stark contrast in academic performance between the schools. D'Arbonne Woods Charter School boasts an 85% proficiency rate in math and 80% in English Language Arts, far exceeding the state averages of 59% and 69% respectively. In contrast, the Union Parish schools trail the state by 20-40 percentage points in most subject areas, with both schools rated just 1 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger.
Interestingly, the schools also differ in their student demographics, with D'Arbonne Woods Charter School having a predominantly White student population, while the Union Parish schools serve a much more racially diverse community. However, the high free/reduced lunch rates across all three schools suggest that economic challenges are prevalent in the overall 71241 area, raising questions about equity and access to quality education.
