Summary:
The 71369 zip code is home to a single public elementary school, Riverside Elementary School, which serves grades PK-6 with a total enrollment of 240 students. This school stands out for its strong academic performance in English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics, where its proficiency rates exceed the Avoyelles Parish and Louisiana state averages, particularly in 5th grade ELA with a 100% proficiency rate.
However, Riverside Elementary School faces some challenges, with its Social Studies proficiency rates falling below the parish and state averages. The school also serves a diverse student population, with a high percentage (80%) of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively low-income community. Despite these factors, the school's student-teacher ratio of 17.7 is only slightly higher than the national average for elementary schools.
Riverside Elementary School's statewide ranking has fluctuated in recent years, ranging from 313 out of 675 Louisiana elementary schools in 2023-2024 (3 out of 5 stars) to 490 out of 727 in 2021-2022 (2 out of 5 stars). This suggests the need for continued monitoring and analysis to identify strategies that can help the school maintain or improve its performance and standing within the state.
