Summary:
The 71259 zip code area is home to 3 public schools - Mangham Elementary School, Mangham High School, and Mangham Junior High School. Of these, Mangham Elementary stands out as the highest performing, with consistently strong test scores that exceed the Richland Parish and Louisiana state averages. The school has also improved its SchoolDigger ranking over the past 3 years, going from 2 stars to 4 stars out of 5.
The schools in this area serve a predominantly white student population, ranging from 65-71% white. However, they also have a relatively high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with 47-57% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. This suggests the community faces significant economic challenges that may impact academic performance.
While Mangham Elementary excels, the other schools in the area have more mixed results. Mangham High School has strong performance in Algebra I but lower scores in other subjects, while Mangham Junior High struggles more with ELA proficiency compared to Math. These variations suggest a need to examine the vertical alignment and transitions between grade levels to ensure students are prepared for success at each stage.
