Summary:
The 71362 zip code area is home to a single elementary school, Plaucheville Elementary School, which serves grades PK-6 with a total enrollment of 610 students. While the school has a diverse student population, its academic performance is a concern, with proficiency rates in Mathematics and Social Studies consistently below the Avoyelles Parish and Louisiana state averages.
Plaucheville Elementary School's performance on LEAP tests is mixed, with some grades performing above the state average in English Language Arts but below the state average in Mathematics and Social Studies. The school's proficiency rates in Mathematics range from 39% to 59%, while in Social Studies, they range from 25% to 34%, significantly lower than the state averages. This suggests a need for targeted interventions and support to improve student learning outcomes.
The school's diverse student population, with 57.38% White and 36.89% African American students, is noteworthy. However, the high percentage of students (55.41%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch indicates that the school serves a predominantly economically disadvantaged community, which may contribute to the academic challenges faced by the school. Additionally, the Avoyelles Parish school district, of which Plaucheville Elementary School is a part, is ranked relatively low among Louisiana districts, suggesting that the school's performance may be influenced by broader district-level factors and challenges.
