Summary:
The 71327 zip code in Louisiana is home to a single public elementary school, Cottonport Elementary, which serves grades PK-6 with an enrollment of 318 students. While Cottonport Elementary is the only school in this specific area, its academic performance is significantly below the district and state averages, raising concerns for parents and the local community.
Cottonport Elementary's proficiency rates on the LEAP tests are strikingly low, with only 23% of students proficient in mathematics and 37% proficient in English Language Arts, compared to Avoyelles Parish averages of 49% and 62%, and Louisiana state averages of 59% and 69%, respectively. The school's 0 out of 5 star rating from SchoolDigger and its ranking of 629 out of 675 Louisiana elementary schools further highlight the academic challenges faced by Cottonport Elementary.
Factors that may contribute to the school's underperformance include a high percentage of students (71.38%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage, and a relatively high student-teacher ratio of 24.2 to 1, which is above the state average. Addressing these challenges through targeted interventions, increased funding, and additional resources may be necessary to improve educational outcomes for the students at Cottonport Elementary.
